- A great Waffle Fest poster or the greatest Waffle Fest poster?
For the past few years Chicago vocalist Shawn “Awdazcate” Childress has thrown the annual Waffle Fest, a celebration of this city’s underground hip-hop scene. “Waffle Fest started after I noticed that some of the local cats never rocked a big stage,” Childress says. “So I provided that avenue for MCs, producers, and graffiti artists.” These minifests are an extension of Childress’s Waffle Gang—in a preview for the third Waffle Fest back in December Miles Raymer wrote that Waffle Gang “encompasses an Internet radio show, a loose rap collective, and a club dedicated to eating breakfast at night.”
