Last Saturday (August 24), legendary hip-hop duo Clipse lit up Chicago’s DuSable Black History Museum during the free “Pepsi Dig In Day Block Party.”
Now in its fourth year, Pepsi Dig In Day went one step further, honoring black-owned restaurants across the country with an event that brought together the best of community, culture and cuisine.

The street festival was more than just a gathering—it was a feast for the senses. Locals indulged in delicious bites from popular food trucks like S2 CITY GRILL, Uncle Remus, CHKN Box, Can’t Believe It’s Not Meat and Lexington Betty Smokehouse. For those with a sweet tooth, there were treats from Black-owned businesses including Justice of the Pies, Moore Poppin, Destiny’s Water Icee + Ice Cream, Dat Donut, Carni-Go Freeze Dried Candy and Silver Spoon Desserts.
The day wasn’t just about food, it was also about style. Chicago’s own designer Don C was on hand to debut his new Pepsi x Just Don collection, which fans could snag via Pepsi.com.

But the highlight of the day was the music. Clipse – brothers Pusha T and Malice – brought the house down with their performance. They played fan favorites like “Grindin,” “Mr. Me Too,” and “What Happened to That Boy,” creating the perfect atmosphere ahead of their upcoming reunion album. The crowd couldn’t get enough of it.
The energy remained high with performances from other artists such as Karrahbooo, Reese Laflare, Rockie Fresh, Jack Freeman and Adé who kept the party going from start to finish.
