This weekend we were on the scene for Rolling Loud, the largest Hip-Hop festival in the world, CÎROC and Mass Appeal kicked off the official Hip-Hop 50th festivities with an exclusive dinner bringing the influential voices in Hip-Hop together to toast to the past, present, and future.
Hosted by up and coming rapper Bia and Hip-Hop legend Rapsody, the dinner paid homage to the women of Hip-Hop who forged their way through the industry backstage and front and center. Amongst other industry notables was Award-Winning songwriter and artist, Jozzy who raised a glass of CÎROC to the change-makers and innovators, like herself. Guests enjoyed a four-course dinner, tasty CÎROC cocktails, and celebrated the women and artists in Hip-Hop culture.
Concertgoers also saw Lil Wayne and rappers 2 Chainz & Nicki Minaj during his set, though Nicki’s appearance has been criticized online for apparent issues with her sound/DJ. Don Toliver brought out Justin Bieber, James Blake, and Kali Uchis. Saweetie performed with Too $hort and the crowd was completely in awe from an eventful weekend.
