On June 10, stream #XXXTENTACIONdoc only on @Hulu.

Official hashtag: #XXXTENTACIONdoc”

According to a synopsis, the documentary “explores how Jahseh Onfroy became one of the most influential artists of a generation before his death.”  Director Sabaah Folayah says the documentary includes “previously unseen archival footage and interviews with XXXTENTACION’s family, friends, and romantic partners. I’ve always been clear that the answer to the question ‘Can you separate the art from the artist?’ is ‘No’. Often the artists that touch us most deeply are the artists whose intimate lives we think we understand. Jahseh Onfroy, aka XXXTENTACION, has an uncanny ability to draw attention and curiosity to himself both as an artist and as a person.”

Pharrell Williams has announced the return of his summer music festival “Something in the Water,” which will take place in Washington, DC on Juneteenth weekend (June 17-19). Pharrell will be included on a lineup featuring Lil Baby, Chloe x Halle, Lil Uzi Vert, Tierra Whack, Run the Jewels, Pusha T, Dave Matthews Band, and more.

The festival previously took place in Williams’ hometown of Virginia Beach back in 2019, however, it has since been relocated to Washington, D.C. In a press statement released last October, Williams shared that the festival would not take place in Virginia due to “toxic energy” from local authorities.  That statement was a result of the March 2021 death of Donovon Lynch, Williams’ cousin, who was killed by a Virginia Beach police officer not wearing an active body camera amid other alleged affairs.

Said Pharrell in a statement: “DC has always been a deep inspiration to me as a person and a musician. It is the land where Go- Go Music was birthed which has provided so much for our people. Our sponsors continue to go the extra mile to show that Something In The Water is so much more than a festival. The goodwill we generate is a defining trait of who we are. We will always have the hottest artists, but to pair that energy with these brands showing up for the community is what makes this festival a vehicle for change.”
