The AAHH! Festival was a welcoming site for the city of Chicago, a community still inquiring solutions for answers to its gun violence epidemic that’s been plaguing the city over the last few years despite the plunge in homicides this year.
Yesterday marked the first ever, annual AAHH! Festival orchestrated by hip-hop legend Common.
Common anticipated the festival would act as a source of positivity within the city through music.
The event played host to multiple local performers along with some more established hometown heavy hitters such as Lupe Fiasco, Jennifer Hudson, Common and a pleasant surprise guest Kanye West.
Common brought out Ye to perform an unexpected and massive 16-minute set for the city of Chicago.
