Kayne West returned to the ESSENCE festival stage last night rocking a white shawl collared blazer, Balmain jeans and a pair of Trusssardi sneakers, paired with with three acts of greatness set to a breathtaking art deco Greek backdrop that left fans with their jaws dropped and their diamonds in the air. Opening Act I with “Higher” Kayne made an entrance like only he can, erupting from seemingly nowhere on a crane like platform and rising high above the crowd. Kanye was in full form and it showed. He cranked out hit after hit after hit (“Jesus Walks” “Diamonds (Sierra Leone)” and “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” to name a few) while elaborate light shows ricocheted off the walls of the dome, choreographed dancers acted out the emotions, and pyrotechnics fell from the sky like electric rain. It was the over-top-genius Kanye’s fans adore that makes his stage presence so unforgettable.
