As I stepped down into the swanky gilded entrance to Dominion, it wasn't the kind of place that I expected to see an album release show. CHAPPO, the rising dance-rock Brooklyn natives, were celebrating their sweaty, badass new album Moonwater and I expected more of the "abandoned warehouse" vibe. But once I got into the club I saw that the hooligan quartet had hung tinfoil from the ceiling, glitterbombed everything, and gave everybody confetti guns. CHAPPO converted Dominion into their own danc

With the release of their phenomenal new album Bloom , Beach House seem to be reaching a peak in their popularity that even surpasses the love they received for 2010's modern classic Teen Dream . As popular as they've been in years past, though, opinion has always been a little split on their live show; some fans will sing their praises while others will dismiss their performances as slow, unimpressive, or boring. With Bloom likely providing them their biggest wave of publicity yet, this ensuing bout of touring will serve to solidify their live reputation one way or another. But ...

Singer, actor and model Rotimi is the biggest thing to look out for this year! With the success of his acting career starring in Starz hit series Boss , as well as his budding music and modeling career, there's nothing this man can't do! PHOTOS: T.I. & Sanaa Lathan Get Bossy! Rotimi has continued to prove his natural talent at everything he's tried, scoring his gig with Boss during his very first acting audition. He's also the face of T.I's urban wear clothing line AKOO  and has his own record label FrontROseat . GlobalGrind got a chance to sit and talk with the rising star about people he looks up to, dream collaborations and what's coming next. Check it all out in our exclusive below...  GlobalGrind: You’re the face for AKOO, but you sing as well as act, how did the modeling gig come about? Rotimi : I always had an interest in it. After meeting with T.I and seeing his vision for AKOO, it made a lot of sense for me to be a part of such a prestigious brand. The fact that it's starting out and even the meaning by the name, 'A King Of Oneself,' it inspired me to be a part of that, especially at this point in my career. Having him as a role model, it makes perfect sense. We’re on the same show; he’s a musician and also an actor, so he’s one of the people that I love to look up to. Being on the same show as Sanaa Lathan and T.I., how have they inspired you? What have you gained or learned from them? This season, luckily, the majority of ...

As you will soon find out, most of our contributors had a lot to say on the matter!
