A HOLLY JOLLY TDE CHRISTMAS

Top Dawg Entertainment will host its 11th annual "TDE Christmas" concert, toy drive and community giveback in Los Angeles' Watts neighborhood next month. The two-day event, presented 12/12-13 by Top Dawg Love the Kids, has become a holiday tradition for the residents of Nickerson Gardens, where TDE founder Anthony "Top Dawg" Tiffith grew up, and surrounding communities.

Those hoping to see TDE artists SZA, SchoolBoy Q, Jay Rock, Doechii, Isaiah Rashad, SiR, Ab-Soul, Ray Vaughn, Zacari, Kal Banx (and surprise guests) perform on 12/12 can gain entrance by bringing unwrapped toys, new clothes/shoes or other donations.

The free community giveback, 12/13, will see a toy giveaway and raffles, youth-sports programming, barbering services and a family holiday photo op. It will also host a job fair including organizations that offer employment and create re-entry pathways for ex-offenders.

TDE will roll out its holiday happening at 11251 Compton Ave. Considering that more than 10,000 people flocked to last year's event, public transportation and rideshare are strongly encouraged.
