(Meek Mill and Wale onstage performing “House Party)

It’s a big weekend for hip-hop and the City of Brotherly Love aka Philadelphia. Starting tomorrow, Jay-Z is throwing his first Made In America Festival music and arts festival in Philly. With Hov, Drake, MMG, Skrillex, Pearl Jam, Janelle Monae, Miike Snowm, and many more hitting the stage, Labor Day weekend 2012 will go down in the history books. The MissInfo.TV crew is already on location preparing for the big weekend. Today, we took a tour of the local scene and ran into Freeway and Marsha Ambrosius along the way. Stay tuned for live updates of exclusive video, photos, news, and more all related to MIA!
