Big KRIT will share the stage with a variety of rap legend this September, during the 3rd annual ONE Musicfest in Atlanta. Artists like Santigold, Slick Rick, Doug E. Fresh and MC Lyte are confirmed on the bill, along with Marsha Ambrosius, formerly of Floetry, and singer Eric Roberson. “There is a lack of representation for soul, progressive Hip-Hop, alternative and rock, represented under one roof, in the format of music festivals in Atlanta”, stated J Carter, ONE Musicfest’s Producer. “We have noticed that while there are many pockets of individuals that share taste in the same music, rarely do you see them share in this together. ONE Musicfest was created with the idea of ‘music as the universal language. Over time we aim to grow this fest into a phenomenon and bring together different sectors of individuals through a unique music platform.” The ONE Musicfest will take place at the 4th Ward Historic Park during Labor Day Weekend. Tickets can be purchased at select retailers and online at http://onemusicfest.com
