It’s billed as the “premiere hip-hop music festival in the Midwest.” And with good reason. Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash Festival has returned, this time in a three-day iteration in Douglass Park, featuring an eclectic lineup of music-makers and emcees. Joey Purp got Saturday’s action off to a start.
Here’s a look at some of the sights and sounds of the 2021 festival.
