While in Vancouver last week Kid Cudi performed 5 shows in 3 nights! I managed to attend them all but only film the final solo show on Friday night at the Commodore. Tons more video below as you can watch almost the entire 60 minute set.

Right after being in Seattle for Summer Jam I was headed home for Rock The Bells a few days later in Vancouver. Video above has Nas and Damian Marley putting on a crazy show performing some of their past songs together as well as two new tracks from the upcoming album “Distant Relatives”. Keep reading for Talib Kweli, Common, Nas’ solo set as well as Damian Marley’s solo set.

Our Rock The Bells footage from Vancouver keeps on going. Now its time for Nas to run through his set as he does some of his hits like “Hate Me Know” and “One Mic”. Footage of Nas and Damian Marley performing as a duo is coming right up.

Nas and Damian Marley, currently working on their collaboration album “Distant Relatives”, were the headliners at this years Rock The Bells in Vancouver. The two performed various songs together and also did there own sets so heres some of Damian Marley performing alone. Nas footage is up next with footage of them performing together after, including two new tracks from their upcoming album.

Continuing with our Rock The Bells footage is Talib Kweli performing live. After being told Reflection Eternal wouldn’t be attending they showed up for a quick 20 minute set before Nas & Damian Marley. Hi-Tek didn’t get much time on the mic so this video is purely Talib performing.

Common went up and performed some of his recent hits as well as doing two freestyles. One for the city of Vancouver and one for some fun.

A few weeks back I was in Seattle for the annual Kube 93 Summer Jam and managed to catch a few acts live.. Above you can see footage of Kid Cudi performing at Summer Jam. Keep reading for footage of Asher Roth, The Dream and Pitbull all performing.

The Dream took his go on the Kube 93 stage for Summer Jam and it was a good performance. I was surprised to see his voice/sound live is almost identical to his recorded work. I was honestly expecting his performance to be brutal but it was no where near that. The Dream is currently working on his third and final studio album (so he says).

Missed most of Asher’s set but made it out in time for a few songs. For his finale he heads out to the crowd and does I Love College. Had a chance to briefly chat with Asher after the show and he’s a real dope dude so make sure to support his music! Footage of The Dream and Pitbull performing is coming later this week.
