It’s finally here. On November 2 and 3, ComplexCon returned to Long Beach Convention Center for its third successful year in a row. Covering all things related to the culture — including food, music, fashion, style, sneakers, and much more — the tradeshow/festival aims to empower and enlighten the individual, no matter what your status.

With Complex being one of the most well-respected outlets in hip-hop, ComplexCon is deemed “this generation’s world fair.” The weekend kicked off with Takashi Murakami’s “Sneakers for Breakfast,” which brought together creative sneakerheads to curate a variety of custom shoes, which would later be sold in a silent auction to benefit charity. In addition, original paintings of Murakami’s OVO collab with Drake hung proudly on the white walls inside the exhibit hall.
Power 106’s own Justincredible and DJ E-Rock were on site over the weekend, deejaying and providing tunes for the attendees as they shopped and enjoyed the festivities.
In addition to the endless exclusive drops, Complex(Con)Versations, live performances, and grandiose outdoor food court, artists and fans alike roamed the floors. On Day 1, Kap G, Jaden Smith, Trill Sammy, Lil Mosey, G-Eazy, and many more were sighted.
Over in the Pigeons & Planes arena was the all-star lineup of performers, with Rae Sremmurd closing out Day 1. Swae Lee and Slim Jxmmi performied hits like “No Type,” “Guatemala,” “Throw Sum Mo,” and even brought out Tyga for “Taste.”

On Day 2, Power 106 caught up with Kodie Shane, who tore down the stage performing her new single “High Speeds,” and of course, “Sad” featuring Lil Yachty.
J Cruz and Lechero were on site, stopping by YG’s interactive 4 Hunnid booth.

Also, Lechero got to hang (kind of) with Latin pop star J. Balvin.
Eric Bellinger was sighted as well, along with Trippie Redd, Danileigh, and even Nas surprising one special fan with a one-of-a-kind Cadillac pendant and chain.

While Future shut down ComplexCon with an explosive set (bringing out Memphis rapper Moneybagg Yo), T-Pain brought us way back to the good ole’ days with “Good Life” featuring Kanye West.
That’s a wrap for ComplexCon 2018!
