With the incredible turnout of artists at Volume 1, expectations were high for Volume 2. On Sunday, April 23, 2023, Dope Music Monopoly Premium Stage Concert Volume 2: Red Gino Showcase did it again. The showcase brought out big names, personalities, and rewards for the winner of the showcase. The event, powered by Red Gino and Belaire, drew talent from across the east coast, with artists traveling from New York through Florida taking the stage to win cash, bottles, interviews, and street credit.
