Yeah, Glo, serve us Keyshia! From the Memphis rapper to music legends, ESSENCE Fest was lit, and we’re breaking down some of our favorite moments from the Louisiana weekend. Jermaine Dupri led a Quincy Jones tribute that had LL Cool J take the stage. Master P gave his farewell performance, Glo gave us a show, Coca-Cola had its own experience that nabbed artists like Lloyd and Mariah the Scientist. And of course, there was a whole lotta singing going on at the fest — from Muni Long to Keke Palmer ‘Waiting to Exhale,’ and when Boyz II Men took the stage, the vocals had us on bended knees. And shutting down the weekend as only she can was Lauryn Hill. We have even more coverage coming from the weekend in NOLA, so keep it locked on Billboard News.
