Chance career is :flabbynsick: but at least he was once a star. How the hell did Vic Mensa finesse his way into his own festival
It pays to be connected

That's dope, just on a business move, Festivals make bank and since it's a destination they could make all sorts of packages deals and merch for people who will never go.

Even getting Erykah and some of the neo soul singers from the 90's is good because they deleiver on shows and are relatively cheap.

shyt if they really wanted to they could low key scam Pro Black entertainers but saying the money is going to charities.

They could get up and coming Afrobeats kids for next to nothing just for exposure to an international audience.

They could stream it there's zillions of ways they could get paid off of this.

They could also do a Mochafest style thing where this is part of a package to go to parties the concert and an all inclusive resort.

why? you just not a fan of their music or is there something deeper? I think Coloring Book is probably one of the best hip hop albums released in the last decade btw
not a fan of their personalities. If they stay behind the scenes as organizers cool. Vic Mensa has definitely over achieved for someone so untalented. He doesn't deserve a name attached to a festival that will be running annually as a failed artist it adds nothing to it, more like he uses it to legitimize himself.
