Ok so next weekend (Labor Day Weekend) I'm taking my talents to Philly. Yes I will be attending the Made in America Festival both days and I am super excited. I can't wait to see all of the artists, eat great food, and enjoy a few libations while watching artists like 2 Chainz, Emeli Sande, Solange, Kendrick Lamar, and King Bey.
