Since it was first held as a tribute to Albert "Uncle Al" Moss, the influential DJ, producer, and mainstay of the Miami hip-hop scene before his tragic murder in 2001, the Peace in the Hood Festival has become an annual tradition, an all-too-necessary celebration of the power of music in an often-difficult environment. This year David Banner returns to headline the block party with his right-hand man, "Game Over" star Lil' Flip, along with Master P, Dirt Bag, Pitbull, and many other local heroes and celebrities.
