YG Confronts Police Brutality with Powerful Skit at Rolling Loud LA
Los Angeles rapper YG is known for using his music to address social issues, and his recent performance at Rolling Loud LA showcased this once again. While his songs typically feature the energetic West Coast style that fans enjoy, it was a powerful moment reflecting on social justice that captured the crowd’s attention. During his set, YG performed a skit highlighting the serious issue of police brutality. On stage, two white actors dressed as police officers forcefully detained two Black men, creating a shocking scene. This was a striking reminder of the ongoing struggles Black communities faced nationwide.
The intensity grew as a third Black man took the microphone to share a heartfelt message about the deep wounds caused by police violence. His speech resonated with the harsh reality many people experience daily, a cycle of fear and injustice. This performance was part of YG’s ongoing dedication to speak out against oppression. Many fans remember his 2016 hit “FDT,” which stands for “F*** Donald Trump,” and became a rallying cry against the former president. At Rolling Loud, YG brought that same passionate spirit to the stage, but this time added a humorous twist with a parody of Trump. The crowd laughed, but the struggle against harmful policies and statements must continue.
The timing of YG’s performance was particularly important, especially with Trump’s potential return to politics on the horizon. Even though “FDT” was released eight years ago, its message is still very much relevant today. By blending sharp humor with a hard-hitting portrayal of police brutality, YG reminded everyone that music can be a powerful way to seek change and raise awareness. As the performance ended and the audience cheered, it was clear that YG’s impact goes beyond just his songs. His voice challenges the status quo, confronts injustice, and calls for societal transformation.

Lisa Boostani creates a mesmerizing tidal realm in “Ocean”
Lisa Boostani’s “Ocean” takes you deep into a sensory world where body, spirit, and myth come together, beyond the surface of genre. Boostani makes a soundscape that is both ethereal and deeply human by combining the broad essence of psychedelic pop with the strong appeal of alternative rock.
Her voice rises as if it is coming from deep within her, shaped by emotion rather than action. She intentionally channels the intangible, turning weakness into strength rather than a source of pain, and “Ocean” tells people to get involved in this inner world, not just watch it. This release is an integral part of her first EP, “One,” which will come out in March 2026 and is based on love, sensuality, and unity.
If “Ocean” is any indication, the EP will show sensuality not as something pretty, but as a kind of spiritual intelligence, a way to know yourself by connecting with others. The song’s textures and structure have an aquatic quality, moving between clarity and delirium, rhythm and freedom. Its emotional focus is on immersion instead of resolution.
The striking quality of “Ocean” is the blend of the mystical worlds. Boostani understands that strength often shows up as gentleness and that deep feelings are better expressed through frequencies than words. She wants people to see consciousness as immediacy, sensation as truth, and openness as an undeniable strength.

NOAH. captures the unspoken signals in enchanting R&B track “That’s Bless”
“That’s Bless” captures the unspoken late-night message, the smile that was exchanged from afar, and the feeling you sense but are afraid to say. NOAH. offers a song with a smoky R&B feel and lyrics that capture unspoken tension, firmly in the realm of emotional ambiguity, where connection is clear but not defined.
This piece concerns the subtle discomfort of mixed signals and quiet longings, when looks say more than words ever could. NOAH. handles the theme with restraint, letting the chemistry simmer rather than explode. NOAH.’s delivery shows a confident gentleness, recognizing that some feelings don’t need strict definitions to be real.
In “That’s Bless,” he captures the essence of connection and the compelling allure that endures, even when both parties pretend it is not there. The composition is based on real-life events, and it acknowledges that specific attachments endure in the heart long after one has persuaded oneself of having progressed.
“That’s Bless” is at the crossroads of closeness and distance, clarity and confusion. The song doesn’t resolve the tension it talks about, and that’s what makes it so powerful. It sums up the connection we say we don’t want but keep coming back to in memory, rhythm, and pulse.
