Thania Garcia There are many surprising elements to Camila Cabello‘s transitional fourth LP, “C,XOXO.” After dominating pop radio as a solo act with “Señorita” and “Havana,” Cabello’s new effort has her testing new territories that range from glitchy hyper-pop to trap-imbued club tracks. One of the most defining factors of the album has been its features: JT and Yung Miami (who have since called it quits as “the City Girls“) on “Dade County Dreaming”; PinkPantheress on “Pink xoxo”; Playboi Carti on the album’s lead single “I Luv It;” and Lil Nas X on the sultry “He Knows,” among others. Most striking of all are the pair of Drake features — “Hot Uptown” and “Uuugly” — that arrive in the throes of his loss to Kendrick Lamar.

Shaheem Reid The fans congregating outside of the Kia Forum in Inglewood, CA on Wednesday afternoon before Kendrick Lamar’s Juneteenth concert — dubbed “The Pop Out” and headlined by “Ken & Friends” — seemed more like they were waiting for the 1985 NBA Finals game between the Lakers and Celtics than a hip-hop concert.
