Ledisi and Doug E. Fresh Added To Essence Music Festival
. The artists, who will both perform on Sunday, July 4th, will join the line-up of artists performing during the annual event over the Fourth of July weekend, including: Janet Jackson; Mary J. Blige; Alicia Keys; Earth, Wind & Fire; Gladys Knight; Trey Songz; Chrisette Michele; Estelle; Irma Thomas; Melanie Fiona; Mary Mary; Irvin Mayfield & the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra; Arrested Development and many more. Ledisi is featured in Essence's July issue feature, Why I Love Being a Black Woman, where nine leading ladies talk about what they love about themselves. Visit www.essence.com to hear Real Woman -- an exclusive song Ledisi dedicated in honor of the photo shoot. Doug E. Fresh, the first human beat box in the rap world -- and still the best of all time -- has amazed audiences with his note-perfect imitations of drum machines, effects, and often large samples of hip-hop classics. By 1985, he was one of the biggest names in rap music, and his first single for Reality, The Show/La Di Da Di, became a hip-hop classic.
