Method Man has been added to the composition for Ghostface Killah's Peace & Unity Festival, held over Labor Day weekend.
Veteran rapper Ghostface Killah is set to host the Peace & Unity Festival on Saturday (August 31) and fellow Wu-Tang Clan member Method Man will be in attendance after being announced as a co-host at the event's mosque-packed lineup . The festival, in its second year, is organized by the non-profit K Woods Foundation and will be held at the Snug Harbor Cultural Center & Botanical Garden in Staten Island, New York.
The “Judgment Day” rapper will take the stage alongside 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 1pm to 8pm, with Ghostface Killah closing the show with some special guests. The festival was created to promote more unity among those who live on Staten Island through music. There will be many family friendly activities taking place on site along with food vendors. The festival will also feature local talent shows.
A portion 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 to develop a new playground and basketball court, with a future goal of building a community center.
“I am so proud to see the young people in my neighborhood finally getting what they deserve. A nice, clean, safe space for them to play and enjoy their childhood. I'm so blessed to have grown up here and to be able to come home and open up new opportunities for learning and growth for so many kids who don't have the opportunities I had,” Woods said in a press release for the event. . Tickets are still available for the Peace & Unity Festival through the Snug Harbor Cultural Center website as well as through Eventbrite.
