A Jam-Packed Recap of Made In America Fest 2022

by Chantell Hayden September 8, 2022
written by Chantell Hayden

Last weekend kicked off Roc Nation’s Made In America Festival held annually in Downtown Philadelphia, and this year’s star-studded lineup included Bad Bunny, Tyler, The Creator, Burna Boy, Don Toliver, Lil Uzi Vert and more. The 2-day festival featured an extensive lineup of performances, food, rides and some scorching hot weather.

To kick off their 10th year in the City of Brotherly Love, the festival teamed up with popular retail brand SHEIN to promote different organizations dedicated to various causes including fighting gun violence, social justice reform and voter rights.

Saturday brought a hype set from Detroit rapper Babyface Ray whose audience grew throughout his set once the infectious bass from his hits like “Idols” and “Sincerely Face” echoed across the festival grounds.

Before her set on the Freedom Stage, rapper Flo Milli stopped by the D’USSÉ Lounge to try her hand at teaching a mini cocktail class with D’USSÉ global ambassador Sullivan Doh. The finished product was a “Gold Fashioned,” a lavish spin on the traditional old fashioned but with a twist: chocolate bitters and gold dust.

While Flo was serving up tasty drinks, rapper Pusha T performed his greatest hits just a couple feet away on the Rocky Stage. Headliner Tyler the Creator ended the night with a bang and closed out the day with an hour-long set, rapping songs from his latest project Call Me If You Get Lost.

Sunday started off hot (literally and figuratively) with a sexy performance from Victoria Monet. The R&B songstress the commanded the Rocky Stage while performing fan favorites like “Jaguar” and “Moment.” Snoh Aalegra continued to provide the vibes and delivered soulful melodies while donning bedazzled pants reminiscent of MJ’s fit in the “Rock With You” music video; crooning her early classics like “Fool For You” and her biggest song to date, “I Want You Around.”

Burna Boy brought Nigeria to Philly with a heated performance on the Liberty Stage. The crowd screamed the words to his summer hit “Last Last” while the Afrobeats artist danced around the stage, showing off his elite footwork.

The weekend ended with a show-stopping performance from Bad Bunny, showing a crowd of more than 25,000 people how Puerto Rico likes to party.

 

Other performers included Larry June, DIXSON, JID, Glorilla, Toro Y Moi, Jazmine Sullivan, Jenevieve, Tate McRae, KUR, Ryan Castro, Ambré, Young Nudy, Armani White and more.

Roc Nation and Modern Luxury Launches Edition Magazine

by Tammy B December 9, 2021
written by Tammy B

I do not know about everyone else, however, I am just now recuperating from the beautiful craziness that is Art Basel.  Now that I’ve come up for air let’s talk recaps.

For those that haven’t seen the events, celebs, and artists parading all over your social media feed, Art Basel 2021 took place this past weekend in Miami.  Believe it or not, I met a group of ppl visiting who had absolutely no idea that Art Basel was even taking place.  No shade to them or anyone reading this who didn’t know.  Anyway, let’s move on.   There were tons of exhibits, panels, and parties, highlighting and celebrating artists from all around the world.  Yet the art wasn’t the only site to see.  Just as impressive and may be as important as the art its self were the venues.  I’m taking some of the most sort-out & exclusive venues.  Add sexy & luxurious to the description and you’ve got The Ritz Carlton South Beach!

This is where Roc Nation and Modern Luxury’s new multimedia platform, EDITION’s launch party took place.  The VIP launch event featured a wide array of celebrities, cultural tastemakers, and influencers including Vic Mensa, Ray J, Dreamdoll, Dez Bryant, Romeo Okwara, Tafia, and more.  Roc Nation superstar Dixson wowed guests with an incredibly electrifying performance.  Maeta followed with an equally beautiful soulful set that captivated the crowd.  D’USSE was on deck as the official drink sponsor.  They provided party-goers with specialty cocktails throughout the entire night.  Also guests, including myself, got to experience complimentary manicures from the Bernadette Thompson Collection.

Lastly, I was lucky enough to get a sneak peek at the inaugural issue featuring cover superstar, the incomparable and beautiful  Issa Rae.  This first issue serves as a very limited edition coffee table book, free of ads and full of exclusively, stunningly curated content.  So excited to see what else this new multimedia platform has in store.  Be sure to follow Edition on IG @editionmodlux

Special thanks to Berk Communications and Purple PR Miami.

On The Scene: Maeta’s First Live Performance at the Iconic Orpheum Theater

by Hakeem Animashaun June 22, 2021
written by Hakeem Animashaun

It’s official, live music is back! Even though masks were still permitted to enter the theater, it felt pretty good experiencing live music with a room full of people again.

On Thursday, June 17, Roc Nation recording artist Maeta had her first live performance on a candlelit stage at the iconic Orpheum Theater in Downtown Los Angeles. She performed some stunning R&B covers in addition to songs from her new EP, Habits. She was accompanied by Orchid Quartet (a local string quartet that has performed around the world with Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar, and other influential artists).

It was a mesmerizing evening featuring some of the greatest songs from the world of R&B. Maeta is just starting off for promising music career but everyone in attendance noticed the star power she has. In time, Maeta’s lovely voice will echo across sold out concert halls around the world.

You can stream Maeta’s new EP, Habits, on all streaming platforms and follow her behind the scenes life on her Instagram: @maetasworld.
