20/20 Summer Fest Lands at Los Angeles’ Banc of California Stadium: Exclusive

Multi-platinum Christian hip-hop artist Aulsondro “Novelist” Hamilton aka Emcee N.I.C.E. and Chantal “Chanie G” Grayson, co-owners of God’s House of Hip Hop (GH3 Radio) station powered by Dash, with 10 million monthly listeners, announced Monday they had finalized the deal with the Banc of California Stadium. 

Today marks the one-year anniversary of God’s House of Hip Hop (GH3) Radio, which received the gospel music Stellar Awards’ first “Hip Hop Station of the Year” recognition in April. 

Banc of California Stadium SVP Booking Ryan Northcott says the venue is excited to host the historic event. 

“As the first and largest Christian, Latin and Gospel Hip Hop festival in the U.S., we couldn’t be more excited and honored to bring this family-friendly, spiritual and cultural event to the heart of Los Angeles at the Banc of California Stadium.”

The festival is expected to attract 30,000 attendees, according to Emcee N.I.C.E. 

“Faith, Love & Music! An experience for the spiritual heads rooted in faith, filled with love, that enjoy hip-hop music,” he stated. “It will be an environment where people can fellowship amongst like-minded believers and turn up for the culture. It’s not a conference. It’s not a seminar. There are no workshops. This is just straight ‘festival music ministry’ from Christian and Gospel hip-hop artists from the U.S. and around the world.”

20/20 Summer Fest marks the first Christian, Latin and Gospel hip-hop festival of this scale. N.I.C.E. insists it’s “long been time for the world to come together with music that inspires and heals … music is a universal language that can aid in the healing process and through faith, love, and music, 20/20 Summer Fest will be one that reinforces your beliefs.”

This sentiment is also reflected in the festival’s title, as Grayson explains. “Without sounding cliche, 20/20 Summer Fest is the realization that through your faith perfect vision exists. God’s plan for you is pure. I want our guests to be present and feel the essence of being alive and witness great hip hop with lyrics that serve as a compass for the lost and weary and or reassurance for those that are standing on solid ground.”
