When we say “HIP”, y’all say “HOP”!
August 11, 2023, was undoubtedly a historic day that, in Grand Rapids, MI, produced an unforgettable event. Sixman closed out HIP HOP 50Th Anniversary Music Fest live at top-rated venue The Pyramid Scheme, concluding a memorable night with a performance lineup that included multiple awards-winning MC Ace Boogie, Manchild, LoudChief, Nyla, Zero, Gwopped Up Speedy, Alfie Da Great, Huff the Goat, WUZEE, Sonny Ski, D.E.S., Sha Dow, Adrian Wright, DJ Ill One, DJ Kapp, DJ Seven Eightz, and DJ Kokn, with industry star MR. 1204 hosting and performing.
Master photographer and publisher Doug Sims of Doug Sims Photographer and Grander Media was there capturing the Fest in its entirety.
With potential to produce some incredible post-event content and art, he offered up the above sample photo as a preview of what could be in the works. The pic features (from R to L), DJ Monk Mattheaus, Gwopped Up Speedy, Ace Boogie, Sonny Ski, Moe McCoy, and Alfie Da Great, with Sixman in the middle.
