Ladies and gentlemen of the Brandeis Community, Student Events and WBRS 100.1 FM are proud to present KENDRICK LAMAR for Springfest 2013!

The critics are calling him the “savior of modern hip-hop,” “the second coming of Tupac Shakur,” and in the words of Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre, the new “King of the West Coast”…and he’s performing right here at Brandeis on April 28th!

Kicking off the big day will be our very own (and extremely talented) GABE GOODMAN ’15, (www.gabegoodman.com) who will be followed by one of the …most electrifying up-and-coming DJs/Mash-Up artists in the industry, 5 AND A DIME!

A special guest will be joining these performers (think indie rock band), so stay tuned for the announcement.

We will also be having some of the best food trucks in the Boston area, a beer garden (21 and over with ID only), and corporate sponsors with great giveaways! Get pumped! This is sure to be the biggest and most memorable Springfest to date!

If you have any questions please e-mail springfest@brandeis.edu.
