The Grammy award-winning hip-hop group ‘The Roots’ celebrates its 18th year of The Roots Picnic in Philadelphia. The festival is a Philadelphia staple that, unofficially, yet officially, kicks off summer every year at The Mann in Fairmount Park. The two-day event offers the city an impressive lineup of musical artists and vendors for attendees to enjoy.
The 2024 Roots Picnic kicked off June 1-2 at The Mann at Fairmount Park where a sold-out crowd of over 60,000 festivalgoers flooded the park to see their favorite artists across three stages.
From a young kid growing up in Philadelphia to winning Grammy awards alongside is friend and longtime music partner Will Smith, there isn’t much DJ Jazzy Jeff hasn’t done.
You might know Ray Angry from the Roots, but he’s an artist in himself. He is a pianist, composer, and producer, and while he is wearing multiple hats right now, his creativity is still flowing no matter how busy he gets. He also owns a record label called Mister Goldfinger where he meets new talent in his studio all the time. His new album called Ray Angry 3 is an ode to his heroes and all the close friends he lost within the past few years including the legendary Prince.
