Los Angeles, CA — The Leimert Park Music Series returned for its 6th showcase on Monday, August 25, and delivered one of its most powerful events yet. Hosted at the iconic World Stage and presented by 247 Live Culture, the night was filled with soul, energy, and purpose as community came together to celebrate rising Black artists and the vibrant creative spirit of South Los Angeles. From the moment doors opened, there was a powerful sense of unity in the room—one fueled by great music, positive energy, and authentic connection between the performers and the community.

With sounds curated by Sweet Candy Radio, the transitions between sets kept the energy flowing seamlessly all night. Every artist on the lineup brought their A-game, offering the crowd a blend of raw truth, healing, and celebration through their art. 2 Hungry opened hearts with a passionate performance rooted in faith and redemption, using the stage as his sanctuary. Arii The Chosen followed with a spiritually charged and uplifting set, inspiring the audience through lyrical authenticity.

Hersoul brought fearless confidence, hyping the crowd with bold bars and empowering energy, while Jaleel Harley repped New York with slick wordplay, dynamic flow, and a fun East Coast vibe that had everyone vibing. Sneak Duce turned pain into purpose as he passionately shared his story of redemption and uplifted God through every verse.

Omar Cook started the momentum with a motivational performance that blended self-empowerment and lyrical excellence. Chi Rose brought angelic vocals and a deeply soulful performance, including a stunning acapella moment that left the audience in awe.
