Common and Donda’s House, Inc. teamed up with Chicago Urban League for the first annual AAHH! Fest over the weekend in Chicago, Illinois.

The charity-driven event, hosted by Dave Chappelle, featured performances by several acts, including Lupe Fiasco, De La Soul, MC Lyte and Common.

Kanye West made a surprise appearance during Common’s set and performed a series of hits, including “Power,” “Jesus Walks” and “Homecoming.” Clips from his performance, along with others, are below.

West wasn’t he only one who made a surprising appearance. Common also brought out Vince Staples and Jay Electronica for a new version of “Kingdom,” a selection off Com’s 2014 album, Nobody’s Smiling, as reported by Exclusive Zone.

Proceeds from the event are set to support different entities, including Common’s Common Ground Foundation, Donda House, Inc. and Arts Education in Chicago’s public schools, as reported by Complex’s Lauren Nostro.

The event is also set to help an initiative around jobs in the city of Chicago for its youth through the Chicago Youth Jobs Collaborative initiative launched by Common Ground, Donda’s House and Chicago’s Urban League, the report adds.
