We were able to interview the MC of the show JRUEBY and learn about his experiences through tour and his upcoming music.

Throughout “Summer Fest” there were many opening acts who brought the energy for Jay Gwuapo to follow throughout the night. Some of these openers include JWU, and Mula M.O.E. JRUEBY was a familiar face throughout the night. After each act he would hype up the crowd making sure they were ready to turn up.

JRUEBY said “LYF is my manager, anything that I do has to go through him, anything to get me to prosper he is going to do.” He described the relationship as “not a business but a family.”

To top off an unforgettable conclusion to Summer Fest, Jay Gwuapo brought the heat and got the crowd really moving.
