It’s once again time for the always fun Essence Festival, and this year the big event helps celebrate the 50th anniversary of hip-hop over the course of three days from June 30 to July 2.
What better way to celebrate hip-hop at a festival that has traditionally served to uplift Black women than have three Grammy-award-winning femcees take to the main stage to headline the occasion. We're talking about Lauryn Hill, Missy Elliot and Megan Thee Stallion. In addition to these three hitmakers, there's a good mix of legends and rising stars performing, helping to round out the weekend.
