Since 2010, one of the central hubs of hip-hop has played host for the ONE Musicfest. Atlanta, Georgia was buzzing this past weekend for the truly special two-day event. The list of performers was announced in mid-July and it was a stacked roster. The headliners included Kendrick Lamar, Killer Mike, Brent Faiyaz, Megan Thee Stallion, as well as Janet Jackson. Even though there was tons of talent on centerstage on October 28 and October 29, Janet is one to focus on.
One of the biggest storylines around the rap community this year is that we are now 50 years deep. It has been an incredible run for the genre and it has seen plenty of evolution since its inception. What better way for the ONE Musicfest planners to celebrate this industry milestone? On top of that, the fact that it took place in Atlanta of all places, only added to the aura of it all.

As we mentioned, Janet Jackson was one of the big names to perform. It was great to see Janet be a part of this. To help commemorate the 50th anniversary of hip-hop, she brought out a special surprise guest. According to HipHopDX J. Cole joined her onstage after she was getting the crowd into it.
