Ultimate 90’s music fans had their dreams answered this week!

Goldenvoice is bringing together some of hip-hop and R&B’s greatest for its inaugural Lovers & Friends Festival. The one-day fest will take place on Saturday, May 9 at the Grounds at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Calif. boasting an all-star lineup of past and present.

The legendary TLC are among the headliners, alongside former Fugees frontwoman, Ms. Lauryn Hill and Usher. The latter will also be joined by his “Lovers and Friends” collaborators Ludacris and Lil Jon.

After a rocky initial announcement on Tuesday 18th February, with artists Lil’ Kim, Ma$e and Twista all denouncing the event as ‘fake’, confusing thousands of fans in the process, the show will indeed go ahead as scheduled and the misunderstandings now appear to have been rectified.

Snoop Dogg, who is one of the organizers of the event, personally reached out to Lil’ Kim to let her and the world know that this is a real event, and that he wants her to get in touch to be a part of something special. “Get at your folks on DM, so we can get you this money. You dig?”, Snoop finishes his shout out to Lil’ Kim via his Instagram.

The nostalgic bill also includes rap legends Nelly, Foxy Brown, Eve, Trina, Ja Rule, Fat Joe, and Sean Paul, as well as R&B powerhouses like Brandy, Monica, 112, Ginuwine, Montell Jordan and SWV.

They will be joined by recent acts including Jhené Aiko, Summer Walker, Megan Thee Stallion, and Saweetie.

Visit the festival’s official website to sign up for the pre-sale and for more info on the big event.

Are you excited to see all these legendary artists performing for one night only at the Lovers and Friends fest?

The loving family of the late, great Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes have decided to give the superstar and the ‘L’ of TLC some extra love, in the form of a complete renovation of her original headstone at her resting place at the Hillandale Memorial Gardens in Stonecrest, Georgia.

Tim Morris aka Cemetery Tim has been commissioned to do the honors of creating a brand new headstone to replace the first headstone, which was laid down in 2002 with the lyrics to Lisa’s rap verse in TLC’s most iconic hit to date, “Waterfalls“.

Tim has created new headstones for other music stars in the past. He has previously worked on a new tombstone for the hip-hop legend Eric “Eazy-E” Wright of N.W.A, the 8-time Latin Grammy-award winning Tejano musician Jimmy González (front man of the group Mazz), and most recently the King of laid back, catchy hooks, Nate Dogg.

Tim initially announced his involvement in the production of a new Left Eye headstone back in May via his Facebook, after having a nice phone call with her family. He promised that his beautiful design for her headstone will truly represent the star.

“I’m going to start designing her beautiful new headstone, and you can guarantee that it will truly represent her”, Tim said. “I am a big fan of her music and I truly feel blessed to be the one designing her final tribute. Stay tuned!!!”

Tim was also present at the 8th annual Left Eye Birthday Fundraiser held by her family on May 21 at Revel in Atlanta. Tim bagged himself an authentic Left Eye portrait during a charity auction held at the event.

The new one-of-a-kind Left Eye headstone will be unveiled exclusively by Tim on November 9 at Perham Hall in Zillah, Washington between 4-6 PM. Left Eye’s family, mother Wanda and siblings Reigndrop and Ron, will also be in attendance at the free event.

DJ Garin Moore will supply the music for the night and deserts will be provided by Shorty’s Sweet Treats N Cake. Alcoholic beverages will also be available.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see her beautiful tribute before it’s shipped to her gravesite in Atlanta.
