The fourteenth annual Pygmalion festival went down in Champaign-Urbana last week, and we were on the scene to capture some of its best moments. Photos by Gavin Good.

On Friday night, hardcore MC JPEGMAFIA (top) rocked the stage at the University of Illinois Independent Media Center, and beforehand, so did young UIUC talent NP0 . ​

Cuco headlined Friday night at Canopy Club, performing a variety of his hits and some newer selections for a large crowd. 

Saturday was headlined by none other than Atlanta's Playboi Carti. He shook things up in front of a sold-out Canopy Club crowd.

 Before that, CJ Run (directly below) and Ausar, two Illini talents who have been making waves in the region each shined in their own performances. ​
