Saturday's 2nd Annual Block Party LA was a community-centered festival featuring some of today's hottest indie artists. Headlined by Talib Kweli, a portion of the event's proceeds were donated to the Children's Defense Fund scholarship program "Beat the Odds”. According to Block Party LA founder Ashley Glaspie, it also served as a vessel to pump positivity into the community. BG Contributor Mary Hill was on the scene asking artists how they felt their work was, much like Block Party LA, helping to bring the community together through music.

"My music is really relatable which is the same reason Drake blew up. It’s genuine and honest. It ties in the community because it’s honest, like the community. Less commercial, more real."

"Our underling message is for the community. It’s about being yourself and showing love to everybody. It’s also based on how we live and how we were built."
