Lil Weezyana Fest 2024: A Celebration of New Orleans Hip-Hop Legacy

New Orleans, November 3, 2024 – The streets of New Orleans vibrated with the energy of hip-hop legends this weekend as Lil Weezyana Fest 2024, hosted by none other than Lil Wayne, took over the Smoothie King Center. This year’s festival wasn’t just another music event; it was a monumental reunion and celebration of the city’s rich musical heritage, epitomized by the Hot Boys reunion.

The Lineup and Performances

Lil Wayne, often hailed as one of the greatest rappers of all time, set the stage not only with his own performance but by orchestrating an extraordinary Hot Boys reunion. The Hot Boys, composed of Wayne himself, Juvenile, B.G., and Turk, along with legendary producer Mannie Fresh and up-and-coming rapper Rob49, created an electrifying atmosphere.

• Hot Boys Reunion: The highlight was undoubtedly the full reunion of the Hot Boys, a group that hasn’t performed together in this capacity for over 15 years. Their performance was a nostalgic trip through the ’90s New Orleans rap scene, playing hits that brought back memories of their influential era.
• Special Appearances: The festival saw surprise appearances by Birdman, co-founder of Cash Money Records, and the Big Tymers, further fueling the Cash Money nostalgia. Mayor LaToya Cantrell also joined in, presenting Wayne with a key to the city, underscoring the event’s significance to New Orleans.
