Vince Staples gets a fresh look on the new Jimmy Fallon last night and he brought along Jhene Aiko who performed “Lemme Know” with The Roots providing some live instrumentation as well. ICYMI last night, watch the performance above.

KimYe, Weeknd, A$AP, more for Alexander Wang
Alexander Wang brought in the big stars for the 10th anniversary commemorating his collabs with DoSomething.org. I dig the positive vibes here as DoSomething supports the youth (listen to the kids, bro!) and social change.
In addition to the names in the headline, also peep Pusha, Jhene, HAIM, and Lykke Li above representing music. You’ll see some familiar celebs and even more in the official reveal here.
Jhene Aiko covers Bill Withers
You may not know Bill Withers, but you certainly know his music and influence. His 77th birthday is today and Jhene Aiko pays tribute with a live, acoustic cover of a couple of his singles: “Ain’t No Sunshine” and “Lovely Day”. The transition between them is seamless, and it all goes down from her cozy library, no less too. Lend your eyes and ears below for some more soothing R&B this afternoon.
Big Sean new videos with Kanye, Jhene Aiko
Not one, but TWO new videos from Big Sean today off Dark Sky Paradise.
He first drops the back and forth video with Kanye West for “All Your Fault” above, and then dresses up as a convincing senior citizen with his guest star and opposite lead Jhene Aiko for “I Know”. Watch em both here.
Jhene Aiko honors Tupac
The HBD Tupac tributes continue and this is my favorite so far, courtesy of MTV, as Jhene Aiko pays homage to one of her long-noted inspirations.
Above you can already tell, and she did so 2 more times below, by recreating old photos of Tupac. I love these and they’re done to the tee. It’s most crazy to see the sultry Jhene in the bathtub gold chains one below too.
Below, she talks about what Tupac meant to her and performs “Keep Ya Head Up” acoustic. All great plays in the background while moseying over to Jhene’s IG too. She posted some rather revealing pics last night, sure, but I also love all her passages from philosopher Thich Nhat Hanh too.
