Program Board has announced that hip-hop artists Wale and Travie McCoy will be headlining this year's Fall Fest, to be held on September 4th. This announcement comes after Interscope Records announced a Wale performance at GW.
Travie McCoy, a rapper based in New York, is famously known as the frontman of the band Gym Class Heroes, and has also put out hit singles from his solo debut album, "Lazarus." His single, Billionaire (featuring Bruno Mars) hit #4 on the Billboard Hot 100, as well as #3 on the Billboard Mainstream Top 40. While with Gym Class Heroes, the band's single, Cupid's Chokehold, reached #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the Billboard Pop 100.
Wale, a D.C.-native, has hosted Fall Fest before in 2008, after Program Board canceled its booking with Girl Talk. The acclaimed rapper's debut album, Attention Deficit, was released on November 10, 2009, hitting #2 on the U.S. Top Rap Albums.
