The festival was glowingly covered in a VIBE cover story, proclaiming the experience was “years of musical history and our ancestors’ wildest dreams rolled into one.” The festival will be co-hosted by Chapelle again this year, with an array of special guests, which always includes legendary acts and upcoming voices.
