This year’s annual Roots Picnic is another event to try and get to. The 7th version of the fest features a jam-packed lineup revealed today, headlined by Snoop Dogg, who will be performing his myriad classics with the backing of The Legendary Roots Crew. I’d also be excited to see singers Janelle Monae and Jhene Aiko and a variety of rappers on the rise in Action Bronson and A$AP Ferg, and DJ sets like AraabMUZIK and Just Blaze. If you’re looking for a weekend to go to Philly, here’s your pick. Video of the announcement below:

Kanye headlining Bonnaroo
The full lineup is above and you’ll keep locating one name after the next — one artist you’ll want to see after another. Kanye West is the main hip hop headliner with many other notables including Frank Ocean, Wiz Khalifa, Lauryn Hill, Ice Cube, Chance The Rapper, and I can go on. Who are you most excited to see at Bonnaroo?
Pharrell headlining NBA All-Star Game
Pharrell (and hopefully his hat too) is going nowhere!
Official announcements say today that Pharrell will headline the performances at the NBA All-Star Game on February 16th. Also performing will be Janelle Monae, Gary Clark Jr., Earth, Wind, & Fire, and New Orleans natives Trombone Shorty with his band Orleans Avenue. And oh yeah, Kendrick Lamar will perform on NBA All-Star Saturday Night with the premiere spot before the main event: Slam Dunk Contest. More reason for us NBA-loving hip hop fans to tune in!
