• Atlanta’s Migos To Receive ASCAP Vanguard Award At Soul Music Awards

    2 Min Read

    Atlanta rap group Migos have been the hottest names in rap for the past couple years, and it’s no wonder. With star collaborations with major acts like Drake, and most recently, Beyonce, the rappers know how to make a hit.

    On June 21, 2018, Migos will receive the ASCAP Vanguard Award at the ASCAP Rhythm & Soul Music Awards In Los Angeles, California.

    The award recognizes the impact of artists that help shape the future of American music.  Past ASCAP Vanguard Award honorees include Kendrick Lamar, Beastie Boys, Taio Cruz, Diplo, Janelle Monáe, Santigold, Dua Lipa, St. Vincent, The Arcade Fire, The Strokes, Beck and Bjork.

    “From their peerless triplet-based raps to bringing the dab to pop culture, Migos have been one of the most influential acts in hip-hop,” said ASCAP President Paul Williams.  “After breaking out with ‘Versace’ in 2013, Offset, Quavo and Takeoff proved that they could bring their trap style to the top of the charts. Their inimitable chemistry transcends genre.”

    Migos exploded on the national scene in 2016 with their hit, “Bad and Boujee.” Since then, they have been a mainstay on the Billboard charts. The trio is touring with Drake as part of the Aubrey and the 3 Amigos tour.

    Longtime music couple Kindred & The Family Soul are swinging through Atlanta this weekend and it’s kind of a special occasion: It’s their 20th wedding anniversary!

    The musical couple, who have four daughters and a son, say the key to their success has been their ability to stay true to their music roots, which fans appreciate.

    “We always strive to, for lack of a better phrase, ‘keep it real,’ you know what I mean?” they told Soultracks.com in an interview. “A lot of different people feel where we’re coming from, they understand who we are and what our message is. It just comes down to encouraging people, by example, to be who they are and to really celebrate that.”

  • Atlanta-Based Porsche Unveils Poster For RennSport Reunion

    1 Min Read

    Hapeville-based Porsche unveiled on Wednesday, June 13 the official poster of Rennsport Reunion VI, the world’s largest gathering of vintage and contemporary Porsche race cars. The September 27-30 event will take place at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca near Monterey, California.

    Porsche Pays Homage To Past With New RennSport Poster

    This year’s event pays homage to the pantheon of Porsche motorsport champions, and the poster depicts three of the most significant players: the 1960 12 Hours of Sebring-winning Type 718 RS 60, the first overall endurance race winner from Porsche; the 2008 RS Spyder which famously punched above its weight by winning races overall in the American Le Mans Series in the Le Mans Prototype (LMP2) class; and the 959 Group B rally car, which after winning the grueling 6,200 mile ParisDakar off-road rally in 1986 went on to become the world’s fastest production street-legal road car.

    RRVI Poster (PRNewsfoto/Porsche Cars North America, Inc.)

    Hosted by PCNA, Rennsport Reunion VI will again feature the widest variety of historic racing models in competition as Porsche celebrates the 70th anniversary this year of its first sports car.
