Snoop Dogg & Kid Cudi To Headline North Coast Music Festival

By Nemmy Kim

North Coast Music Festival continues its tradition of merging Hip Hop with other genres of music, as Snoop Dogg and Kid Cudi join this year's bill.

Summer’s official music festival season will come to an end on Labor Day weekend at the fifth-annual North Coast Music Festival at Chicago’s Union Park. North Coast is a festival most noted for showcasing Electronic Music, but the festival has a history of giving props to Hip Hop; past performers at the North Coast Festival include Wu-Tang Clan, Nas, Common, Big Boi, Wiz Khalifa, Lupe Fiasco, Jay Electronica and De La Soul among others.
This year’s festival is headlined by Long Beach, California product Snoop Dogg. Snoop is currently in the studio working on the release of his thirteenth solo album, which is to be produced by Pharrell Williams. Another headliner for the three-day event is Cleveland rapper Kid Cudi. Cudi released his fourth album, Satellite Flight: The Journey to Mother Moon, February 25, 2014. The project was his first release since leaving Kanye West’s G.O.O.D Music label.
