#FOMO Report: Marc E. Bassy & Bebe Rexha Bring Out G-Eazy In LA
Stress. I had to be at The NOVO ASAP. When one of your favorite R&B singers performs in LA… you go. Marc E. Bassy and Bebe Rexha on their joint tour. Bay and bae. I love Bebe. Not only did I have the pleasure of interviewing her, but when I was home in the Bay one weekend, I legit stole my mom’s minivan and drove an hour to see her perform in SF. She def brought out G-Eazy then too. Read more…

Marc’s set time was 8pm and I was really hoping he was going to be late lmao. Nope. Ironically, when you want them to be on time, they never are. Luckily, he had an hour set. I recruited Dom from the art show and called that he was going to bring out young Gerald. I love being right lmao.
We arrive midway as Marc is serenading LA with “Lock It Up” from his 2014 Only The Poets Mixtape. This song features Kaelani and he told everyone she couldn’t be here tonight so they had to make up for it (she was at the art show lmao). The next song featured her as well: “Made Love First” off Gossip Columns.

“Black Jeep” is the intro track off his debut album Gossip Columns. Honestly, Marc’s music is so fucking good. So good. Next, he played us a brand new track and brought his homie out on the guitar. You can never go wrong with live instruments. “Plot Twist” with Kyle was next, before he got the keyboards.
would you be there in the morning? @MARCEBASSY pic.twitter.com/T7WZIcteI0

“Morning” was absolutely beautiful. This next part was intense. He gives the crowd a speech about having a crazy past 24 hours and how much he thinks about women. AND THEN HE GOES, “I’d kill myself if I didn’t have this.” Whoa. Whoa. Whoa lmao. He backed his shit up real quick, but still. We were all speechless for a hot sec. It was soon forgotten when he performed “Don’t Let Her Go,” also off the new project. AND THEN, he covers Pretty Ricky’s “Hotline.”
Hearing him sing the “5 In The Morning” line was pure bliss. Then he had the DJ play Rihanna and Drake’s “Work” which I thought was a little random, but the crowd ate it up lmao. They were so turnt. Marc definitely has great stage presence. I’m telling you. Superstar in the works. Love that G-Eazy comes out and supports every time. “You and Me” is a fucking hit.

But “Some Kind Of Drug” is better. I’m pretty sure that’s the record that put me on Marc. This makes me want to fall in love lmao. But anyways. Already completely satisfied, closing his set with “Til I Get Found” was the absolute cherry on top.

The intermission before Bebe’s set proved to be the perfect time to catch up with everyone. The squad is always out for Marc. When it was finally time for Bebe, the stage turned into a straight movie. Bebe comes out in all-black, looking bomb as she always does. And thick as ever lmao. Baby got back. I enter the photo pit right as she brings out G for “Me, Myself & I”… except wait. His mic wasn’t on. Right as he goes to rap, nothing lmao. I hate that shit. It’s like they had one job…
Morning silliness. (Please pardon the bandaids on my knees )
A post shared by Bebe Rexha (@beberexha) on
They meaning the production. Not the artists lmao. She reminded everyone she hailed from Brooklyn before performing an explosive “That’s It.” Bebe, we love you. I had to dip out soon after to catch my roomie’s bday (love you, Tanya!) at Preux & Proper, which ended up being only 6 minutes away. Sometimes, I really do love living downtown.
This spot was adorable, on the corner of Spring. The food is all New Orleans-inspired, and all their leftovers looked incredibly dank. It was a great evening until I drop my phone and it completely dies. Like, I was legit about to post all my Marc E. Bassy footage. Sigh. Can’t win.
