Raury's RAURFEST 2016 Will Host Joey Bada$$, Kirk Knight, Lion Babe & More

The third edition of Raury's (now-free) festival is set to go down this July 4th weekend in Atlanta. It's been a while since Raury last dropped off new music, but in case you were wondering how he's been holding up, the eclectic 20-year-old already has his own festival, RAURFEST, which is now in its third year. And this year's festival, taking place on Saturday, July 2, is absolutely free. This year's headliners are Joey Bada$$ and, of course, Raury himself. Also on the lineup is another Pro Era member in Kirk Knight as well as Kilo Kish and the duo known as Lion Babe. More acts will be announced soon. The host venue of RAURFEST is the Masquerade in Northeast Atlanta, and the event is open to all ages.

Troy Ave & Joey Badass Send Subliminal Shots On Twitter

Troy Ave has been the topic of hot conversation on social media these past couple weeks thanks in part to his extremely low record sales and attitude towards it all. On Monday, the BSB leader made his way by the Hot 97 studios where he spent about 40 minutes justifying his album sales and self-proclaiming himself the biggest and best independent artist out today. Taking such to offense, Joey Badass later jumped on twitter Monday afternoon and decided to put some random facts in the air for the people. Sending a friendly “reminder”, Joey revealed that he sold over 57k copies in his first week and is the true self proclaimed #1 independent hip hop artist in the world all while being only 20 years old

That makes me the #1 Independent Hip Hop artist/brand in the world....
