Best moments at J. Cole's Dreamville Fest, including PARTYNEXTDOOR, 21 Savage, Eryakh Badu, Ludacris, Tems, Coco Jones, GloRilla, Bas & Ari Lennox

Cole rocked the hip-hop world by apologizing and pulling out of the somehow still-unfurling Drake-Kendrick Lamar beef, the Grammy-winning rapper’s Dreamville Festival graced North Carolina for its fifth and final (sort of) edition from April 5-6 in Raleigh’s Dorothea Dix Park. Additional performers included Keyshia Cole, Ab-Soul, Young Nudy, Chief Keef, Ari Lennox, Lute, Omen, Kai Ca$h & Niko Brim, Bas, Ludacris, Coco Jones, GloRilla, Wale, BigXthaPlug, JID, Anycia, Earthgang, Cozz and Akia.
