The official announcement is out, the full schedule of events have been listed, and beginning last night Drake’s second Houston Appreciation Weekend took flight in Texas.
However, from a local perspective there are mixed emotions about HAW.
Businesses and clubs see an influx of out-of-towners ready and willing to spend money to be seen and in the moment.
For the music scene, in particular rap artists seeking to be a part of the festivities, the opportunities to perform are exclusive as Drake brings his own bill down South.
DJ AudiTory said, “the day it becomes a weekend where Houstonians benefit from being involved in it will make the event bigger than what it is now.”
