Although in-person concerts have not been an aspect of the college experience this past year, live music performances still managed to reach Penn State students this week.
Music Mangs, a group of nine Penn State students who connected over their love for music and founded a music blog in early 2020, hosted a free virtual music festival on Thursday night, featuring up-and-coming rap and hip-hop artists.
According to the group's website, Music Mangs has since launched a podcast and works in âsocial media marketing consulting, designing and selling merchandise for artists as well as themselves, and launching several multimedia campaigns.â
The virtual event allowed for artists to perform from across the country with their own backgrounds and sets. Performances spanned from Fort Worth, Texas to Miami, Florida to Fairfax, Virginia.
