The yearly Funk Fest took place this summer in Orlando Fl. With hurricane season starting in Florida the Funk Fest shook up the city! With some heavy issues like the sound on the stage this event had its ups and downs. Lets focus on the ups!! Mary J. Blige Baby!!! What a stellar performance and crowd participation with each song the vibes were all Mary J! And that was just day 1 of an amazing and rough weekend. Day one featured artist such as Tweet, Jazimine Sullivan, and Trina just to name a few. The rain did not stop the show as the people came out in record numbers to see it all go down at the Central Florida Fairgrounds. With special guest artist like Ball Greezy who shared the stage with Trina or Anthony Hamilton who came out to see Mary J Blige perform though he was not set to go until day 2.
Day 2, was a little bit more rocky with lines rapped around in circles to get in and the ticket holders did not come to play. With reports of people jumping over the gate to get in, security was doing the most to control the situation. Even we were harassed a couple of times throughout the day, however, we were taken care of and provided a upgrade to backstage passes. However, all of that did not stop the show as it went on to feature Anthony Hamilton, Carl Thomas, Jodeci, Dj Demp, Dj Dr Doom, and of course the No Limit Squad. Featuring, Silk the Shocker, Mr. Servon, Mia X, Mystikal, and of course Master P, who dedicated the night to his daughter who just passed days ago. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Master P and his family. Check out our Recap below.
