The festival is spearheaded and by Cabana Concerts Life and founded by E.D.I. Don & Jason Gazzini. Last years headliner was the late great Crenshaw representative Nipsey Hussle. So Welcome to the West festival thought is was only fitting to give Nipsey Hussle a tribute to his legacy in the community and music.
