Organizers for the second Annual Cousinz Festival have announced a list of performers for this year’s event.
The event, which is scheduled to take place Aug. 30 in Norfolk, Va., at Norfolk Scope Grounds, will feature headliners Jeezy, T-Pain, and Lil’ Kim, with DJ sets by New York City DJs, DJ Clue and DJ Envy.
“We had an idea for our hometown, and it really came to life. Last year set the vibe, tone, and energy for Cousinz, and knowing that each year will bring something different, we wanted a line up that reflected how we feel when we hop in our cars in the Summertime. Having Jeezy do a special performance of his
hit TM 101 album – something the fans have been asking for years – is crazy to be happening in Norfolk. Lil’ Kim is a rap legend and T-Pain keeps the energy high all the time,” Clipse group member and Cousinz Festival co-founder Pusha T said in a written statement.
Other acts performing include: Backyard Band, tour and daytime TV DJ, DJ Boof, DJs Izzy The DJ, DJ DC, and Been Blackin. The house DJ will be DJ Diamond Kuts, while the event is hosted by comedian and actor Chico Bean and radio host and media personality Dominique Da Diva.
Attendees can also enjoy culinary treats with The Stormy Blue Food Truck Experience.
On April 25, several days before the festival, in partnership with The Waterside District, Cousinz will host the Cousinz Community Engagement Kick-Off Conversation panel. The panelists for the conversation will be the co-founder of the festival, recording artist Fam-Lay, and Antonio Dowe of Cousinz
Festival, Sean Washington of the City of Norfolk, and Suyapa Marquez of Dominion Energy. The event begins at 4:00 p.m. at The Market at Waterside for the conversation, with the panel starting at 4:30 p.m., and immediately after the panel, a kick-off mixer from 5:30 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.
a Norfolk resident’s home in partnership with Dominion Energy. When we say Cousinz is a movement, we mean that. Family–whether by bloodline or by community ties–supports one another. We’ll be activating the community again this year through different pop-ups and experiences,” said Fam-Lay, recording artist and co-founder of Cousinz Festival and RnB Block Party.
