Nikki Lynette African Festival of the Arts

"I haven't performed in my hometown in a year." Declared Nikki Lynette, as she walked onto the huge hip hop stage at Chicago's historic African Festival of the Arts. "Man, it feels good to perform at home." Nikki Lynette took the stage only moments after a rocking, ten member band exited. Yet, there was no lull in energy when her base driven track kicked in and Nikki began to "rock the mic." In her fifteen minute performance, she remained energetic until the end. The crowd even sang along to some of the songs that she performed from her first official release, The Hard Candy Mixtpe, Volume 1. Nikki Lynette's live performance is definitely worth catching, and her catchy songs will ring in your head for at least a few days after she's done.
