Daily News | Roots Picnic: What to see and hear, besides Dave Chappelle and the Roots
The Philadelphia hip-hop band’s ever expanding annual festival begins Friday night, with Dave Chappelle and the Roots sharing stage at the Wells Fargo Center.
This year, the Mann grounds will feature Roots Picnic food court, the Love + Grit Black Business Marketplace, and the return of the Roots Picnic Spades Tournament with comedian Clint Coley, which debuted last year.There’s lots of music to choose from. Memphis rapper Glorilla, Philly rapper Fridayy and Washington D.C. go-go specialists Rare Essence and Backyard, and Philly bandleader Adam Blackstone with gospel singers Mary Mary and Coco Jones, are at the fest Saturday.
This year’s throw down includes a Philly classic who’s rarely heard from these days in Eve, plus Busta Rhymes, the motor mouthed Native Tongues rapper who stole the show at the Roots-helmed 50th anniversary of hip-hop celebration at this year’s Grammys.One highlight of last year’s Picnic was a Sunday afternoon set by Kirk Franklin plagued by sound problems which forced Franklin’s singers to rouse the crowd without amplification.
