Quite a few folks from the South Georgia and North Florida areas have made the pilgrimage to South Florida for the events, and this 15 th edition promises to be epic as the headliners are: Mary J. Blige, Jill Scott, H.E.R., The Roots with Bilal, Stokeley (of Mint Condition), Kirk Franklin, Charlie Wilson and SWV. And just recently it was announced Nelly, Keshia Cole, Uncle Luke, Mike Phillips, and Mark Allen Felton.
