Nothing inspires a trip down memory lane like hearing the music of your youth — the songs you used to turn all the way up, with the windows rolled all the way down.
You can revisit the ’90s this summer at multiple concerts and festivals featuring the hip-hop and R&B stars who dominated the charts at the end of the century. Most are in Indianapolis, but to see some performers, you’ll have to take a short road trip to Chicago or Cincinnati.
