The Roots’ Black Thought is reprising his Live Mixtape with J.Period, and this time around it’ll feature up-and-coming rap group Griselda, plus the Wu-Tang Clan‘s Raekwon and Ghostface Killah. The Roots’ drummer Questlove is also doing a live taping of his Questlove Supreme Podcast on the podcast stage.
The rest of the lineup includes Meek Mill, Summer Walker, DaBaby, Snoh Aalegra, Burna Boy, SiR, Baby Rose, Buddy, Phony Ppl, Meshell Ndegeocello, among plenty of others.
