A homecoming to see which music acts are up and coming
The sky was gray. The ground was scattered with a strange confetti of fallen leaves and abandoned party fliers. And the bass was thumping.
It was Friday's Yardfest -- one of the most anticipated events of the annual homecoming festivities at Howard University, an all-day concert where gaggles of rappers and singers and more rappers grace the stage in short, emphatic blips. The concert can feel exhilarating, exhausting and anarchic -- all at once.
The day can also serve as a launchpad for rappers on the verge of stardom. Kanye West and Lupe Fiasco both made early-career appearances on Howard's quad in autumns past, and Los Angeles rapper Nipsey Hussle seemed poised to be this year's breakout. With a handful of buzzed-about mix tapes to his name, Hussle was making his first Howard homecoming visit in hopes of winning fans with his sly, tough-talking rhymes. He had 10 minutes to get the job done.
