Headlining the night is Billy Drease Williams, a local hip-hop emcee and producer.  He began his career in a group called The Elements alongside Soulive members Alan and Neal Evans.  Eventually five tracks from his duo group Raw Intel were featured on the ESPN NFL 25K video game.  A man of many trades, he has also opened Gallery 51, an art gallery in Buffalo.

Other performances include DJ Cutler, Kinda Like Dreamin', DJ Sandpaper, and Natural Ingredients.
