Lupe Fiasco and Tinie Tempah are set to come to Monmouth University's MAC on September 15
Last week, Monmouth University announced that actor/comedian Joel McHale will be performing at the school’s Multipurpose Activity Center (MAC) this November. McHale was the first announced act to play the MAC, and will actually be the first stand-up to play the building.
This week, the school revealed two more performers coming to the MAC in the upcoming school year, and these individuals are some of the biggest rap stars in the country today.
On Thursday, Sept 15, Lupe Fiasco will be bringing his talents to Monmouth University as part of the Generation Loser Tour. He will be joined in West Long Branch by British rap star Tinie Tempah.
