Tuesday:
>> Memphis native Yo Gotti (pictured) has been a constant on the southern hip-hop scene for well over a decade, having collaborated with the likes of 8Ball & MJG and Lil’ Jon. He’ll be at U Street Music Hall as a stop on his tour. $20. 7 p.m.

Friday:
>> Chicago’s DJ Sneak has been a constant on that city’s house scene for years while also enjoying international acclaim. He’ll be the feature for this week’s “Red Fridays” at U Street Music Hall. Free before 11 p.m. for 21 and up / $10. 10 p.m.

Saturday:
>> Frequent District visitor Bilal has had a solid career, first as a major label artist and now as an indie soul star. The Philly crooner will be performing at the Howard Theatre. $25. 8 p.m.

>> Soul Clap and Wolf + Lamb are two duos that represent Boston and Brooklyn, respectively. Together, they’re the players in a electronic music duel, of sorts, at U Street Music Hall. $10. 10 p.m.

Sunday:
>> Brian McKnight caused a stir recently when fans of the R&B singer caught wind of a video that was ultimately a prelude to a joke.
