We went to Philly for Jay-Z…and left wondering why nobody told us how much we’d love Philadelphia. 🎶✨
The moment I heard Jay-Z was performing at The Roots Picnic, it became a non-negotiable. And somehow, our first trip to Philly turned into one of those weekends we’ll be talking about for years.
Two days of incredible music and a master class in live performance from Jay-Z. Erykah Badu being Erykah Badu. T.I., Corinne Bailey Rae, Brandy, De La Soul and so many more. Great food. Great cocktails. Ci**rs. A few celebrity sightings. A little history with a stop at the Liberty Bell. And a city that was surprisingly walkable.
Safe to say Philadelphia exceeded expectations.
10/10 experience.
10/10 playlist.
10/10 would absolutely do it again.
Now the real question is…why has nobody been talking about Philly like this? 👀
