The Roots Picnic once again kicked off the summer season in Philadelphia, and this year’s show was bigger and better than ever.

The annual festival welcomed cherished veterans of hip hop and R&B Usher, Lauryn Hill, Roy Ayers, The Isley Bros, and Busta Rhymes, new school buzz acts GloRilla, Ari Lennox, Lucky Daye, City Girls and hometown heroes to the parade of musical artists.

Philadelphia is represented by Eve, Lil Uzi Vert, Kindred & The Family Soul and the State Property reunion of rappers Freeway, Beanie Siegel, Young Gunz, Peedi Crakk, Oschino and Sparks, along with Adam Blackstone.
