This past Saturday April 18, Manhattan University (MU) welcomed rapper Jadakiss to campus as this year’s Springfest performer.
Jadakiss, or Jason Terrance Phillips, is a Yonkers-native rapper most known for his work from the 1990s and 2000s.When Phillips took to stage in Draddy Gymnasium, he performed these classic songs such as “By Your Side”, “U Make Me Wanna”, “New York” and “Put Your Hands Up.” Attendees of the concert sang along, with strobe lights, sparklers and smoke machines creating a true concert-like atmosphere, all at MU.
The Quadrangle spoke to Phillips after his performance, and asked him about what it was like to come to a college campus, such as MU, and perform for a student crowd.
Actually, a college crowd is one of the best crowds to see if you’re still lit,” Phillips said. “If you could rock a college crowd, then you know your career has legs, because those are the most vibrant people in the world. They’re going through exams, they’re dealing with all of this stuff, and then if they [colleges] book you, and the college kids come out and rock with you, then you know you’re in a good space.”
