Over a weekend filled with dynamic panels, networking meet-ups, and electrifying performances commemorating 50 years of hip-hop, Revolt World, curated by Diddy, emerged as a star-studded cultural transformation event.
Held at Atlanta’s Pangaea Studios from September 22 to 24, situated on a 47-acre property once owned by Tyler Perry, this celebration embraced various facets of entertainment during its “3 Days of Impact and Inspiration.” From music to guidance from accomplished industry entrepreneurs, attendees were granted invaluable real-world access and wisdom from some of the culture’s most prominent figures as they embarked on their creative endeavors.
The event provided visitors with the opportunity to showcase their ideas in the Revolt Podcast Network Pitch competition held within the Culture Studio and engage in direct discussions with Lauren London in a live recording of Revolt’s Assets over Liabilities. It also delved into cultural issues through “CultureVersations,” addressing subjects such as Young Thug and Trump’s RICO charges and the bold initiatives of Atlanta prosecutor Fani Willis.
Beyond the professional and educational aspects, this three-day affair featured holistic workshops, inviting participants to explore meditation and sound bath techniques. Mental wellness was emphasized through the True Voice Panel, moderated by Trap Yoga Bae’s Will Campbell.
In the realm of sports, LSU Basketball champion Flau’jae Johnson and sports journalist Jemele Hill led an engaging conversation on women athletes in the “She’s Got Game” panel. The event also highlighted hip-hop’s influence on the fashion industry, with Sowmya Krishnamurthy interviewing Jim Jones and celebrity stylist Groovey Lew about the art form’s unique impact on clothing.
Revolt World wouldn’t be complete without music performances, featuring talents like Moneybagg Yo, Saucy Santana, Scar Lip, and King Combs. Notably, the audience not only witnessed a live presentation of “Caresha Please” but also experienced a surprise musical performance by the host herself, known musically as Yung Miami.
Concluding its inaugural celebration, Revolt World left an indelible mark on the thousands in attendance, establishing a platform to showcase the Black community’s talent, creativity, and entrepreneurial aspirations.
