Diesel presents: ONExONE
w/ Lupe Fiasco, Kardinal Offishall, & Melanie Fiona at The Guvernment
Lupe Fiasco headlined the Diesel presents: ONExONE benefit concert in Toronto, along side Melanie Fiona and Kardinal Offishal. The concert started with two-time Grammy nominated Melanie Fiona, capturing the audiences attention with her beautiful vocals, and really did get the crowd going. Up next was hometown hero Kardinal, who reminded everyone just how cool Toronto is, in case you had forgotten. Kardinal shared the stage with long time friend, rapper and producer Solitair, with the occasional pop-ins by songstress Jully Black. Kardinal’s set was a high-energy affair, which got the audience ramped up as he ripped through his anthem-esque songs.
