From T99zy to Moliy, and Chxrry to KenTheMan, on Friday afternoon, The Fillmore was lit and packed for GU Kickback.
Here's The Best Moments Of The 2025 GU Kickback
By Fallon Brannon · Updated July 5, 2025

Hosted by Zoe Spencer, Essence GU’s Kickback commenced with a performance from New Orleans rapper T99zy. The “Trip Out” artist led the star-studded concert lineup, followed by Chxrry, Moliy, and KenTheMan. DJ Summer Indigo dominated the stage with vivacious hip-hop and R&B jams, creating a welcoming atmosphere for attendees inside the party.

We’re already missing The Fillmore. Scroll ahead to see just how lit the 2025 GU Kickback was, but beware it might create FOMO for those who didn’t go!
