Hold on.
So these are some major cats in hip-hop. Big names. On average, let's argue that the performance fee for each will be $10,000. That's average, so Kanye will charge far more, but you get the picture.
That's just performance fees. Let's add another $10,000 per act (average) for airfare, hotel, riders and entourage.
Now let's talk logistics. Let's say you need $20,000 (and this is US$ not Zim$) to hire a venue, arrange security, secure bar staff etcetera. Fine.
We're at $560,000 ALREADY.
Now I'm prepared to admit that the acts are doing it for free. It's a charity event after all. But.

With Guru in hospital diagnosed with anoxia, and never having spoken to Premo in years?

At the same time? Yeah, OK.
Also: it popped up at allhiphop.com. But what about HiphopDX? SOHH? XXL Mag? Hell, Heavywords? You'd think at least one of these news portals would have picked up on this.
Also,
www.zimrocks.org doesn't exist.
You make up your own mind.
