Key takeaways:
"The live performance industry was one of the first to be decimated by coronavirus: according to the user-generated data compiled by I Lost My Gig, cancelled gigs have cost them more than $280m already."

"The festival was free, but viewers were encouraged to buy merch from the artists and donate to Support Act, an organisation set up to support music workers that have lost income in the wake of Covid-19. Isol-Aid raised more than $12,000 over the festival’s two nights and most artists gained 200 or more followers from their 20-minute sets. But some artists did decline to take part, not wanting to take fans away from already struggling live-music venues (these venues are now closed due to new government regulations)."

Could the Hip Hop community replicate an online, inclusive festival full of generosity and compassion to comfort us in times of loneliness and distress.

Could initiatives like this could help the industry and culture in other ways?

Which artists could you see doing this and which artists would it benefit?

I could see Kanye doing this. Sunday Service at home with Kim and his kids.

And he would still somehow start 2 hours late

Which rappers have cancelled their shows/tours recently?

when are you starting b****
