Jake Lloyd and Deezie Brown’s recharged Geto Gala project returns with a weekly residency at Hotel Vegas through November. The ideally yoked duo have realized a complete experience, releasing their fantastic, baseball-themed full-length Major League on Bandcamp this month. Femcee Cha’keeta B mastered the concept of getting in and getting out (and sometimes getting off) in her potent and concise 2023 EP Where the Wildflowers Grow. Vocalist/MC/songwriter Nubia Emmon offers throwback feels on tracks like “Give ’em Hell,” reminiscent of Nineties R&B star Smooth. She’s featured on an excellent hook for Cha’keeta B’s 2023 single “Heartbreak Hotel.” – Kahron Spearman
