Roc Nation’s (Jay-Z’s label) very first signed artist, J. Cole, now boasts four studio albums—all platinum-certified—and his very own label, Dreamville Records. Known for quietly flying under the radar and avoiding the limelight, the music remains his focus. All 10 songs from his most recent album, 4 Your Eyez Only, charted in the top 40 of the Hot 100. Hear the album live in Phoenix at Talking Stick Resort Arena for his current tour in support of the album. Tickets here.

July 12: Kendrick Lamar

Compton-native, Kendrick Lamar also has four studio albums including his most recent release, DAMN., which received platinum certification on May 4, 2017. After growing up, idolizing Tupac and Dr. Dre and being able to watch the filming of Tupac’s “California Love” music video in his hometown, it’s no surprise that he cites the two as major influences in his rap career. Later, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre and Game went on to proclaim Lamar the “New King of the West Coast.” See the king live in Phoenix at Gila River Arena. Tickets here.
