This October 5th, hip-hop history was made as D12 performed in the United States for the first time in over ten years at the Happiness of Pursuit Festival (THOPFest) in Ontario, California. Originally founded by Eminem, the legendary Detroit group burst onto the scene in the late 90s, making waves with hits like "Fight Music" and "Purple Pills." Their return brought an electrifying energy to one of Southern California’s most anticipated indie festivals.

Although the group’s lineup has changed over the years, the current roster consists of longtime members Swifty McVay and Kuniva, who continue to honor D12’s legacy. Their performance at THOPFest gave fans a powerful, nostalgic experience while also offering a fresh take on the classic sound that defined an era in hip-hop.

Sharing the stage with D12 were a stellar lineup of artists including Coast Contra, Apollo Brown, Flee Lord, and more, making THOPFest 2024 a standout event. Known for blending established legends with rising talent, THOPFest has become a key destination for hip-hop heads seeking authentic and dynamic performances.

D12's return to the U.S. stage, with Eminem’s founding legacy in mind, added an iconic touch to this year’s festival, making it one for the ages!
