.t6mikee's second annual Young World festival features Slick Rick, Tisakorean, Junglepussy, and more playing a free concert in a Brooklyn park.
The City Parks Foundation, a nonprofit focused on civic engagement with New York City’s public parks, approached the 23-year-old MC last year to perform as part of its long-running SummerStage series. He decided instead to put on Young World, which he thought of as a music festival for regular people: a free show in the park, in the daytime, featuring talented young acts.
“When I came up with the idea for Young World, that’s one of the things that I thought,” recalls Mike, who counts Slick Rick — who, like him, moved from the U.K. to the East Coast when he was young — as one of his early inspirations. “Like, the craziest Young World would be the one that he performs at. It’s crazy to have that for the second one.”
Young World began last year as a multi-day event in Manhattan. The idea from the start, Mike says, was to find a way to celebrate the more localized worlds that young artists share with their fans. “I always thought about artists who have the ability to create their own world, and build that from scratch or from nothing,” he says. “When I think about basically all the artists that are on the bill, it’s people that have created those types of worlds with music and shit, at least to me.
