Dancehall, rap acts will be showcased at Miami Gardens’ premier music festival
Concertgoers can expect some rap and dancehall at this year’s Jazz in the Gardens, as the event is set to welcome dancehall legend Beenie Man back to the U.S.
The premier festival, now in its 18th year, released its full line up this week, with headliners R&B group New Edition and sultry singer Toni Braxton.
Beanie Man’s appearance at the festival marks his first performance in at least a decade after having his US visa restored last December, Dancehall Mag reported.
This year’s line up will also have a heavy rap presence including a reunion of two out of three of The Fugees showing up—rapper and singer-songwriter Ms. Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean. Plus Busta Rhymes and this year’s Grammy-nominated Best New Artist, Doechii , will deliver performances.
The outdoor festival is set to bring back some of last year’s acts such as DJ Nasty’s Miami House Party Set alongside Miami’s own Uncle Luke and Miami Bass legends 69 Boyz.
DJ Cassidy will return with a set that will feature Ja Rule, Fat Joe, Remy Ma, Slick Rick and Doug E. Fresh.
R&B lovers will also be treated to the sounds of Xscape, Coco Jones and Dru Hill. And Jazz lovers were not forgotten amid the heavy rap sets: Philly native Jeff Bradshaw is set to perform alongside others yet to be announced.
