Alemeda

CRITIC'S PICK:
Fri. Feb. 18
Alemeda, Vinyl at Center Stage - Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE) has been one of the most consistently great Hip-Hop and R&B labels since the 2010s, but that didn't stop the highly decorated company from taking a big swing at a promising new alternative rock artist. Enter Alemeda, an Ethiopian-born singer-songwriter raised in Phoenix, Arizona. As one of the two most recent singers to the label, Alemeda joined TDE in 2024, and in her brief tenure there, she has already dropped two standalone projects, including last year's "But What The Hell Do I Know." On February 18, she's taking on Vinyl for what is looking like one of the best up-and-coming shows this month. Meet-and-greet and soundcheck ticket packages are available. - joshua robinson
