Method Man has been added to the lineup for Ghostface Killah’s Peace & Unity Festival, taking place on Labor Day Weekend.
The veteran rapper Ghostface Killah is set to host the Peace & Unity Festival Saturday (Aug. 31), and his fellow Wu-Tang Clan member Method Man is now going to take part after being announced as a co-host to the event’s jam-packed lineup. The festival, in its second year, is organized by the non-profit K Woods Foundation and will take place at the Snug Harbor Cultural Center & Botanical Garden in Staten Island, New York.
The “Judgment Day” rapper will take the stage along with Kid Capri, Jim Jones, Juelz Santana, Smif-N-Wessun, Beanie Sigel, Freeway, Connie Diiamond, Abby Jasmine, Chey, and Freekey Zekey. The concert event will run from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m., with Ghostface Killah closing out the show with some special guests. The festival was created to foster more unity among those living on Staten Island through music. There will be numerous family-friendly activities taking place at the venue along with food vendors. Local talent showcases will also be taking place at the festival.
Part of the proceeds from the festival will go to the K Woods Foundation, created by Kareem “Kay” Woods in 2019 to serve the youth of the Park Hill neighborhood. Since its inception, the foundation has already raised funds toward breaking ground on a new playground and basketball court, with a future goal of building a community center.
“I’m so proud to see the youth in my neighborhood finally get what they deserve. A nice, clean, safe space to play and enjoy their childhood. I am so blessed to have grown up here and be in the position to come home and open up new possibilities for learning and growth for so many kids who don’t have the opportunities I did,” said Woods in a press release for the event. Tickets are still available for the Peace & Unity Festival through the Snug Harbor Cultural Center’s website as well as through Eventbrite.
