Baltimore is about to be lit!

Recently, the annual AFRAM Festival announced their lineup, which boasts headliners Rick Ross, Teddy Riley, and Dru Hill.

The city has recently been going through some political tension since the mayor stepped down from office, so it seems the live music might help.

“The festival is a huge deal to the city, it’s 20-plus years old and probably one of the largest African-American festivals on the East Coast. The city expects a fantastic experience.

She also brings up the fact that Baltimore gets so much bad press, so this will be an opportunity to shed light on the city in a positive way.

Has the FBI caught Horse Face Pugh yet; or has she done what Democrats do when they are arrested for corruption and traded her office for a pass? If the fake “cops” at the FBI can’t find a woman wearing a James Brown wig how can they help us fight terrorists?
