(pastemagazine.com) In 2021, rap was dominated by Griselda’s consistent releases, The Alchemist’s collaborations, rumblings of new Earl Sweatshirt material and Action Bronson’s raucous festival 
performances. Today (Dec. 15), those powerhouses come together for one of 2022’s most exciting tours. The ÑBA Leather World Tour will feature Action Bronson and Earl Sweatshirt co-headlining with support from The Alchemist and Boldy James, who released their acclaimed Bo Jackson earlier this year.
DRAMA (formerly Drama Duo) is an American two-piece electronic group featuring vocalist Via Rosa and producer Na'el Shehade. The band formed in Chicago after Via Rosa and Shehade met in 2013 at Shehade's studio during his recording sessions with Jean Deaux for her Solar System 
project[4]. Both artists had solo careers at the time, with Via Rosa releasing her DeathViaLove Mixtape on SoundCloud in 2014 and Shehade working on production projects that included contributions to Chance the Rapper's Acid Rap and Kanye West's remix of the Chief Keef track "Don't Like."
DRAMA self-released its debut LP Gallows in 2016. The album's title is meant to reference gallows humor and features several of the band's most streamed songs, including "Billy," "Low Tide," and "Hopes Up." The group released a follow-up EP entitled Lies After Love in 2018, in addition to singles "Ready for Love" and "Dead and Gone" in 2018 and 2019 respectively. DRAMA's most recent single, "Give No Fucks," was released in June 2019.
Williams has parlayed that success into a multitude of stand-up television experiences, including Live at Gotham, The Tonight Show, Dave Attell’s Comedy 
Underground, and Jimmy Kimmel Live. Most recently, his first one-hour special, Fun Size, was the highest rated on Showtime, and a year later, he followed that up with his second special, Daddy Issues, which was more successful than the first and prompted The New York Times to write “No one is doing it [stand-up comedy] more hilariously than Brad Williams.” His third special in three years was an uproarious one, hosting some of the edgiest comedians in the country from the prestigious Montreal Just For Laughs Festival.

As a teenager, legendary guitarist Pat Metheny regularly jammed with Kansas City’s best jazz 
musicians. That experience of sitting in with more mature players lead to his latest project, Side-Eye. Metheny says Side-Eye is meant to give a platform to “new and upcoming musicians who have particularly caught my interest.” Houston native pianist James Francies, equally at home in the worlds of jazz and R&B, and up-and-coming New Orleans native drummer Joe Dyson clearly fit the bill.
