Malayatina B Heads Up Nublu 151’s Artists’ Corner Tomorrow

Tomorrow night, Nublu 151 in New York City welcomes rising star Malayatina B for its weekly Artists’ Corner series. Known for her fearless blend of experimental R&B and rock, Malayatina B promises a set that pushes boundaries and keeps fans on their toes. The show kicks off at 10 p.m. at 151 Avenue C, offering an intimate club setting where bold new voices get their moment in the spotlight.

Originally hailing from Philadelphia, Malayatina B (real name Tala Johnson) cut her teeth on DIY mixtapes before earning buzz for her live performances at underground venues. Her sound draws on gritty guitar riffs, soulful vocal runs, and unconventional production textures—ingredients she’ll bring to Nublu’s tiny stage tomorrow.

Past Highlights Of Artists’ Corner

Since launching last year, Artists’ Corner has become a Thursday-night destination for genre-crossing talent. Recent lineups included:
• Georgian-American powerhouse BaKoliKeTaco, who brought folk-inflected melodies to the room.
• Vocalist and poet Tai Allen (@thetaiallen), whose storytelling set blended jazz-infused soul.
• Pianist Willerm Delisfort (@wdelisfort) at Red Rooster Harlem’s Art of Swing series, showcasing his multi-genre keyboard wizardry.

Each week’s performer is handed the reins to create a one-off live experience. Organizers say the goal is to spotlight artists who defy easy categorization—and Malayatina B fits the bill with her cross-genre arsenal.

Spotlight On Ray Angry’s Upcoming Solo Debut

While Malayatina B takes over the Artists’ Corner stage, longtime Nublu collaborator Ray Angry is gearing up for his own headline moment. Best known as a member of The Roots and as musical director for Jimmy Fallon’s house band, Angry made headlines with his #JustAnnounced Instagram post revealing a solo debut at 54 Below. His two-night engagement on July 11 and 12 will see him fuse jazz, classical, R&B and more in an intimate cabaret setting. Tickets are available now at 54below.org/RayAngry.

Angry’s involvement in Nublu’s Monday night Producer series—where he leads The Council of Goldfinger—has cemented his reputation as a connector between underground scenes and mainstream stages. Tomorrow’s Artist’ Corner performance sits alongside his broader mission: championing inventive voices in New York’s vibrant music landscape.

Whether you’re a longtime follower or discovering Malayatina B for the first time, tomorrow’s Artists’ Corner promises a night of unexpected turns and hard-hitting melodies. Come early to snag a front-row spot and stay late for the after-hours buzz that follows every Nublu 151 show.
