The biggest hip hop event of the summer returns as WISCANSIN FEST hits up The Rave/Eagles Club on Saturday, June 10th. Once again, it's a stacked lineup featuring T-Pain, Chance The Rapper, Chlöe, Afroman, Ambré, Chayo Nash, DJay Mando, DJ Paul of Three 6 Mafia, LaRussell, Lil Scrappy, NandoSTL, Seddy Hendrinx, Tobi Lou, Taylor Bennett, Young Cash and more!

Since emerging in 2004, T-Pain not only changed the course of pop, hip-hop, and R&B, but he also reshaped the fabric of the culture itself. Beyond moving over 50 million singles, gathering billions of streams, picking up six GRAMMY® Awards, and selling out shows on multiple continents, his voice could be heard loud and clear as “All I Do Is Win” soundtracked President Barack Obama’s entry into the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, during the “most popular” NPR Tiny Desk concert in the series’ history, and when he shocked audiences everywhere as the first-ever winner of FOX’s smash The Masked Singer. The Tallahassee trailblazer’s influence now transcends generations. Simultaneously, the man born Faheem Rasheed Najm shines as a Twitch phenomenon and uber popular streamer, label honcho for Nappy Boy Entertainment, expert drift driver, actor, and author with his literary debut Can I Mix You a Drink in 2021.

Despite his evasion of stylistic pigeonholing and no label affiliation -- not even a major-bankrolled vanity imprint -- Chance the Rapper is one of the most significant independent artists to infiltrate the mainstream. Through several mixtapes, his output underwent a rapid evolution as he celebrated life and faith, mourned personal losses, and hit upon lighter everyday experiences with high-aptitude wordplay served with a variety of mostly genial styles. All the while, the productions that supported the verses and hooks included various regional contemporary rap production styles, and among other genres synthesized elements of gospel, jazz, and soul. Previously unthinkable achievements, such as winning a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album with 2016's Coloring Book -- a mixtape available only on streaming platforms -- prompted headlines, yet they didn't overshadow the creative accomplishments that vaulted him onto the top tier. 

One-half of the Grammy-nominated sibling duo Chloe x Halle, Chlöe has been active separately as a solo and featured artist since 2021. The high-energy and supremely confident pop-R&B singer, songwriter, and producer -- well-known as an actress with roles dating back to her early childhood -- first stepped out by modernizing the show tune standard "Feeling Good." This was followed by the Top 40, platinum-certified hit "Have Mercy," among other preludes to In Pieces (2023), her therapeutic debut solo album for Beyonce's Parkwood label.
