Born x Raised Honors Spanto
Taking place at the iconic Hollywood Palladium, the collaborative efforts of Dr. Martens and Levi’s brought the night to life; 1800 Tequila kept the drinks flowing. Esteemed guests such as YG, Miguel, Danny Trejo, and others, who shared a deep connection with Spanto, turned out to express their support. Anna Printup, Spanto’s partner, delivered a heartfelt speech, followed by a tribute performance from Mariachi artist Julian Torres and a closing music set by rapper YG.
From humble beginnings of selling t-shirts out of car trunks, Born x Raised has evolved into a steadfast advocate for issues surrounding gentrification that adversely affect long-standing members of the community; Spanto's indomitable spirit undeniably lives on through 2Tone and the family they've built around them. The evening unfolded with love, laughter, heartfelt conversations, reconnecting, and dancing — a touching moment that will hopefully resonate in the memories of those who came out for a long time.

Disposable Diaries: Camp Flog Gnaw
Many of our now favorite artists also graced the Flog, Camp, and Golf stages back in 2019. Amidst Dominic Fike’s set he admitted to the audience that in 2018 he snuck into the festival and then the following year played the first set at the Camp stage, and was now the third closer just before Rex Orange County and SZA—a lot can happen in four years (though he did request a later set time next year)! Growth is the theme of this two-day affair with fellow alumni of the fest performing like Fana Hues, Daisy World, Left Brain, Earl Sweatshirt, Willow, Domo Genesis, Syd, and Mike G.
Multifaceted icon, Tyler, The Creator opened up the realm of what fans can expect to receive from a single artist to include a streetwear line, luxury clothing line, eu de parfum, bicycles, ballads, dance hits, festivals and beyond, so it’s no surprise that the masses pulled up ready to impress and turn heads.
