Thousands of San Antonio showed up to Nelson Wolff Stadium this weekend to catch a mixture of EDM and R&B acts as well as veteran and up-and-coming hip-hop artists. This year’s Mala Luna Fest proved that 2016’s inaugural success wasn’t just beginners luck for Scoremore (the folks that put on the festival), rather, a telling indication that San Antonio is ready for more artists from these genres, and even more opportunities to be entertained by them in a festival setting.

What can be said about Lil Wayne that we haven’t already heard? Dude’s been in the game since he was a little kid, pumped out a grip of hits, possibly maybe might have an addiction to liquid hydrocodone (lean), and we’re all still waiting for The Carter V to come out (C’mon Birdman).
