On March 21, 2026, the historic Ribault Scenic Drive corridor transformed into a powerful gathering place for unity, remembrance, and a renewed call for justice as Jacksonville welcomed the return of Come Together Day. This year’s revival was led through a strategic partnership between renowned rapper Natalac (Cadillac) and DJ Gitt (DJ Jet) of Strong Hold Entertainment. By joining forces, the two ensured the signature message—Unity is the Key—was amplified across generations and neighborhoods.
At the emotional core of the event was a solemn memorial ceremony honoring Rashaud Fields, the beloved Raines High School football standout whose life was tragically taken four years earlier, just hours after his high school graduation. Organizers presented a heartfelt tribute to his mother, Yvonne Fields, recognizing her strength, advocacy, and ongoing work through the Rashaud Fields Foundation to keep her son’s legacy alive.
Adding a profound layer of truth and accountability to the day was filmmaker Ulysses Salett, director of the forthcoming documentary No Mercy in Duval. The project centers on Rashaud’s life and the ripple effects of violence on families across Jacksonville. Salett’s presence underscored the event’s mission to protect the city’s “Young Kings” and confront the realities facing local youth.
Come Together Day also united an impressive lineup of cultural leaders, artists, and community influencers.
- DJ Gitt (DJ Jet) served as host and visionary partner, providing the platform and message of unity, love, and compassion.
- Natalac (Cadillac)—a 30-year hip-hop veteran and U.S. Marine Corps veteran—wove his “Unity is the Key State of Emergency Saving Black Youth” initiative into the day’s programming, creating a blueprint for mentorship and empowerment.
- Mama Do It All, the legendary vintage female icon, brought generational richness and represented Jacksonville’s deep musical heritage.
- GP the General and Harrison Bernardez offered leadership, direction, and decades of influence, reinforcing the event’s mission of community stability.
- Big 6, a pivotal figure in the local music scene, added his voice to the collective call for unity and healing.
Although headliner PVG Bo was unable to attend, he sent heartfelt condolences. His anthem “Nobody Died Today” remained a symbolic theme throughout the day, echoing the ultimate goal: preserving life.
Natalac emphasized the importance of partnership in moving the mission forward. “I decided it was best to bring my Unity is the Key mission under DJ Gitt’s umbrella so we could do this the right way—together,” he said. “By honoring Yvonne Fields and standing with Ulysses Salette, we are showing the youth that their lives matter and we are fighting for their future.”
The revival of Come Together Day was more than an event—it was a declaration. A declaration that unity is still possible, that healing is still necessary, and that the community will continue to fight for the safety, dignity, and future of its youth.
