And talk about a bump up; Nikka Costa goes from playing the Usual three months ago to opening for the pop princess. Paquita La Del Barrio is the Queen of Ranchera, fellow artist Pepe Aguilar began performing at age 3 (take that, Britney) and Down From the Mountain--the O Brother, Where Art Thou?--scooped up Grammy after Grammy. As for Tha Bomb 2002, the Compaq Center is the perfect place for P. Diddy-- it's the only venue big enough to hold his ego.
