The 2023 Dreamville Fest was one to remember. The festival, a brainchild of J. Cole‘s, was co-headlined by Drake, but there were even more special guests.
During J. Cole’s set, he brought out his Dreamville labelmates of EarthGang, JID, Ari Lennox, Lute, Omen, Bas and Cozz. The collective performed “Down Bad” and “Stick.”

Drake eventually came out and performed more than a handful of his classic songs. His first special guest was GloRilla, who performed “F.N.F.”
