The Roots Announce L.A. Picnic for ‘The Class of ‘95’: Lil’ Kim, DJ Quik, E-40, More


The Roots Picnic's second Los Angeles event will take place on June 8 at the Hollywood Bowl featuring Lil’ Kim, Redman & Method Man, and more.

Named “A Roots Picnic Experience: The Class of ’95,” it will feature 1990s rap all-stars such as Lil’ Kim, Redman& Method Man, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, DJ Quik, Raekwon, E-40, Goodie Mob, Havoc (of Mobb Deep), the Roots themselves, and others to be announced. Those were the days when there were still things like mainstream terrestrial radio, bloated video budgets, and creativity at both the regional and the global levels. Some of the artists that we bring out — people who I would think tend to perform for predominantly Black audiences on a larger scale — when they come out to the Roots Picnic, they’re in awe.
