Saweetie

Blavity, Inc.’s gathering of Black tech innovators descends upon Austin for a second consecutive year. During a star-studded Saturday, from noon to 8pm at Republic Square, Maybach Music Group founder Rick Ross headlines a daytime lineup also sporting flossy MC Saweetie (“Best Friend”), DJ Spinderella, and Riders Against the Storm. Later that night at ACL Live, Jadakiss of the LOX punctuates the proceedings. Conference attendees must either purchase an all-access ticket ($2450) or purchase a music pass in addition to general admission ($775) to access the conference’s three official concerts. – Derek Udensi
