Yet to miss as the star of GQ‘s Most Expensivest Sh*t, 2 Chainz has now been recruited by Amazon to host its new weekly live-stream concert series, “Amazon Music Live.” Lil Baby is set to perform his most recent album, It’s Only Me for the first show of the series later this month, followed by shows from Megan Thee Stallion and Kane Brown. The move follows a similar initiative from Apple Music which launched “Apple Music Live,” a free live-streaming concert series earlier this year.
Amazon Music Live will air every Thursday coinciding with Thursday night football and preceding new music on Friday. Each week’s performance will be filmed in front of a live audience with attendance being by invitation only.
“Every Thursday night, I’m bringing the biggest and brightest stars in music to the Amazon Music Live stage in Los Angeles. We have the people that are influencing the culture and have carved their own unique path in music, like Lil Baby, Megan Thee Stallion, and Kane Brown. Amazon Music Live is the only place to be for the official Thursday turn-up!” 2 Chainz says in a statement.
“Thursday night football is one of the most watched television events in America, and Amazon Music Live is an unprecedented moment for us to bring together the best of America’s sport and the biggest pillar of culture—music,” Kirdis Postelle, global head of artist marketing for Amazon Music, continues. “And for artists, Amazon Music Live represents a brand-new, massive opportunity for them to share their newest music with fans around the world.”
Take a look at the Amazon Music trailer below and look for the first performance to begin October 27 featuring special guest Lil Baby.
