Following the release of his debut album earlier this year entitled ‘The Chief’ Jidenna is back with a new 6 track treat. This new project is titled ‘Boomerang’ and it has features from artists like Quavo, Wale and more. Make sure you pick up the project on iTunes and let us know which tracks your feeling. Enjoy your weekend.
Jidenna and his band recently visited NPR to perform three reworked selections from ‘The Chief.’ They excitedly explored every nook and cranny of the Tiny Desk in search of props, eventually settling on a toy, the magic microphone, a tambourine and a bottle of whiskey. Jidenna bounced straight through “Trampoline” to “Long Live the Chief” and “Bambi.” Peep it above.
Jidenna has announced that he’ll be hitting the road this summer for his ‘Long Live the Chief Tour.’ This will see him hitting up cities all across North America, including New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Cleveland, Detroit, Houston, Los Angeles, Seattle and more. Tickets will go on sale this Friday, May 19th over at his website. Hit the jump for the dates. Read more…

A highlight on Jidenna’s The Chief album is the song “White Niggas,” produced by Andrew Horowitz, Nana Kwabena, Jidenna and AdoTheGod. It touches on a day in America where racial roles are reversed and is all told by Jidenna to a man and his wife, Madeline. Peep it above.
As one of the many performers at SXSW, Jidenna hit the stage to perform one of his tracks entitled “Helicopters” in Austin, TX. Peep it above and make sure you pick up his debut album if you’ve been sleeping on it. Enjoy!
