The festival will take place April 6-7 in Raleigh, NC. The festival will return to Dorothea Dix Park, Raleigh’s largest public park, and per Billboard, will also offer "attractions and activities for fans of all ages, including carnival rides, immersive art installations, dozens of local vendors, food trucks and community organizations from the Wake County region."

Last year's festival featured Usher, Burna Boy, J. Cole and Drake. The lineup for the 2024 festival has yet to be announced but early bird tickets will be available to e-newsletter and SMS text subscribers.

J. Cole recent hit another big milestone, earning his first song on Billboard's Hot 100 No. 1 with his feature on Drake's "First Person Shooter." The North Carolina MC talked about the state of Hip-Hop in an interview earlier this year with Kevin Hart. Cole said the game is in a good place right now, and that it's dope to see that women are leading the charge.

“I think it’s fire. It’s a whole different ball game. Whole different crop of young superstars and styles,” he said. “I think, to me the… I’ve been feeling like this for, maybe, a year or two. I hate to say it, almost because it sounds like pandering, but I do think, there’s a lot of fire female rappers ... I feel like they doing some of the most exciting [music] commercially," he contended. "They giving us a lot of fire moments. I feel like that’s something that wasn’t around when we was growing up. There was always one. There could never be more than one [woman]. Now, it’s like, we getting moments, and moments, and moments. I think that’s hard.”
