In a November interview with theMurder Master Music Showon YouTube,Larry Hoover Jr. confirmedthat West and Drake were planning the event, adding that they might not be the only star musicians to appear.
“We’re going to get the word out to as many people as we possibly can, and then the word will go further from there,” Hoover Jr. said. “We gotta let the powers that be know that we want Larry Hoover in our community. That’s gonna be a big way to do it.”
“Plus, we want to show people of other communities that we can come together in peace, and I would like for it to turn into a trickle-down effect for other entertainers,” he added.
