AN URBAN FEST

On June 10th The First Annual Vibe Music Fest took off. It's a festival
put together by The Vibe Magazine, set in Atlanta Georgia.

The
Georgia Dome hosts this event. Sponsored by Burger King, and in
association with Budweiser and Ford, artists and executives (A&Es)
came together to express views and ways forward in the industry. Up and
coming talent were blessed to be in such a position, to asorb all this
knowledge of the music business. Forums and panels were held to allow
those in attendance to interact directly with the professionals.

Business
was'nt the only thing that weekend! There were two star-studded
concerts on Friday and Saturday. Live performances included Ludacris,
Lauryn Hill, Kanye West, T.I., Big Boi, Free, Dougie Fresh, Faith
Evans, Damian and Stephan Marley, with many more! Under the threat of a
tornado storm the concerts were a gift to everybody with dreams of
becoming a professional. It kept no one from speaking and performing as
planned.

After-parties were in full blast, with hosts such as
Luke, P.Diddy, and Jermaine Dupree, bringing even more celebration to
the city. We even had Leadership Parites, led by Al Sharpton. There was
every kind of party you could want, capable of teaching our country to
party! This is the first Fest I've been to with full attendance from
everyone invited. It was The First Annual Vibe Music Fest, and I cain't
wait till next year!
