UPROAR Hip Hop Festival

**UPROAR Hip Hop Festival** is a music festival presented by American rapper Lil Wayne's cannabis brand, GKUA Ultra Premium. The inaugural year was held on August 13, 2021, at The Torch at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

## Background

It was reported by *Forbes* in April 2021 that GKUA secured a contract with the Coliseum for 4/20 events.

Lil Wayne told *Los Angeles Times* of the organization behind the event: "It's pretty exciting, bro. The show I had probably a month ago in Miami, that was the first time I'd been onstage in so long, I actually had to rehearse the songs. I love performing so much that there's no usually no real prep for me. It's just totally 'What time should I be there.' But with [Uproar], it changes every day. I always like to give people a peek at everything we've got going on with Young Money, but yes, there are a bunch of difficult things going on too. It'd be impossible not to think about that. So we asked what's the best approach [to safety] we can take?" Regarding the Delta variant, he continued, "We're doing all the things we're supposed to do. At the end of the day, if we can provide a safe and productive show, then it's a success."

Karlton Jahmal of *HotNewHipHop* wrote of Wayne's performance, "Dressed in black and white camo, and enough diamonds to start a reserve, Wayne blessed fans with a long list of his hits. [...] UPROAR was a massive success, and we can't wait until Wayne blesses the city once more."
