What is “NCCU Homecoming Unplugged”?
A 4-day, multi-venue, music-first homecoming series centered on Black American music and community. It blends intimate listening experiences (vinyl, conversations, small-room sets) with open-door jams and late-night dance energy. Think: culture forward, alumni friendly, no fluff—just good music, good people, and room to breathe. This weekend is brought to you by Missy Lane’s & Dynasty 5.
