Everyone from Rick Ross, Pusha T, Raekwon, Ace Hood, French Montana, Fabolous, Busta Rhymes, Nas, 2 Chainz, DJ Khaled, Slaughterhouse, Large Professor, Ace Hood, Ne-Yo, Jaime Foxx, T-Pain and more were roaming around the VIP. The game basically allows you to pick real rappers and customize a custom concert with every detail catered to your liking.
