Dreamville Festival is Coming To Raleigh

J Cole is blessing the Carolinas with a music festival, and this is exactly what the Carolinas need right now! The hope is that a festival like this will bring to light the amazing amount of talent that’s pumping throughout the entire region, with a mix of dope artists and performers from the industry. The festival will be held in Raleigh, North Carolina, in Dorothea Dix Park on September 15, 2018. J Cole’s record label, Dreamville Records made an official announcement, and it looks like the presale tickets are already sold out according to the the website.

Now, there isn’t much info on who will be performing at the festival, but the hope is that J Cole will be giving us a great mix of industry talent blended with artists throughout the Carolinas. Our hope is that we will get to see some dope underground artists that deserve to be featured on this festival’s platform. A music festival in the Carolinas could be huge; the region is lacking an event like this, that has the potential to be a major player in the musical festival scene. This is the type of event that could electrify the music and creative industries in both North and South Carolina.

In an article with the Washington Post, J Cole’s Manager, Ibrahim ‘Ib’ Hamad, stated:

“We’ve been trying to put this festival together for a few years now. It’s just hard to come into a city and get the whole city to approve it and (get) behind you. So it was great that we took our time … and really connected with the city (and) connected with the mayor. It’s going to be a variety of different acts that we love or excite us. It’s something we want to build for years and years to come.”

Tickets to the general public will go on sale Monday, April 30th, 2018 at 10:00 am EST. Follow @Dreamvillefest on Twitter for updates and log on to Dreamvillefest.com for tickets. We look forward to seeing our readers at Dreamville Fest in September (insert dance emoji)!

Below we’ve included some hotels that are close to the park:

If you are from the Carolinas and you are closely connected to the music scenes in your city, then you have probably had this conversation a hundred times! “When is an artist from (insert your city) going to blow?” Yes, WE live here, and we know the amount of raw, untouched talent that resides within our region, however what we may or may not know is that there are artists from this region who are currently shaking up the music industry – one hit at a time.

The vlog from Justin Hunt of Hip Hop DX, aka @TheCompanyMan on Twitter, is probably the best, most comprehensive breakdown of the talent that has been the driving force of the Carolina Hip-Hop culture that we have seen to date. Not only does Hunt do a brilliant job of updating us on the progress of some of the top Carolina hip-hop artists, he also addresses a very important issue that we discuss often regarding the music scene – lack of artist collaborations and the crab-in-a-barrel syndrome.

Take a look at the video below and let us know what you think; it’s great to see Carolina native, Justin Hunt pushing the culture forward – this is most definitely what the region needs to see! Shout out to J Cole (fayetteville, NC), Rapsody (Snow Hill, NC), Deniro Farrar (Charlotte, NC), Nick Grant (Walterboro, SC), Tigo B (Raleigh, NC) for blazing trails in a tough industry!

Today J Cole announced that his “2014 Forest Hills Drive” album will drop before the end of the year. Cole has decided that he will not release any singles from this project, prior to the album release because he wants to give the opportunity to his fans to hear the completed project before it drops.

If you want to be one of the lucky fans, head on over to the Roc Nation’s website for your chance to come to J Cole’s house, where he grew up and repurchased this year, and listen to the album in full before its release date! Good Luck!!
