Dynasty Commodities Opens in Harlem with Star-Studded 420 Celebration

Harlem is about to turn all the way up. On Friday, April 18, some of New York’s most legendary names in hip-hop and politics will gather for the grand opening of Dynasty Commodities, a new dispensary set to make major waves in the state’s legal landscape.

Co-founded by former New York Giants linebacker Jon Beason, Fat Joe’s longtime manager Rich Jospitre, entrepreneur Anthony Gonzalez, and community powerhouse Jahkaya Pugh, Dynasty Commodities is more than just a retail space—it’s a cultural statement. And they’re kicking things off with a block party that runs from 12:30 PM to 9 PM right on 2119 Frederick Douglass Boulevard in the heart of Harlem.

A Celebration of Legacy and Culture

The launch event reads like a Hip-Hop Hall of Fame guest list. Scheduled to appear are:

  • Jadakiss
  • Remy Ma (official host of the event)
  • Jim Jones
  • N.O.R.E.
  • Dave East
  • Maino
  • Juelz Santana
  • Memphis Bleek
  • NYC Council Member Yusuf Salaam

…and even more surprise guests are expected to pull up.

Whether you’re a fan of the music, the movement, or the plant, this is a moment you don’t want to miss.

Building A Dynasty—Literally

The significance of this launch goes far beyond celebrity. Co-owner Jahkaya Pugh is now the youngest African-American and Puerto Rican woman to co-own a licensed retail dispensary in New York—a groundbreaking achievement in an industry still reckoning with equity and representation. Her presence at the helm signals a new generation of leadership rooted in authenticity, resilience, and vision.

“Dynasty Commodities is about legacy,” said one of the co-founders. “It’s about owning our place in this industry and creating something for the culture, by the culture.”

The team behind Dynasty isn’t just bringing experience—they’re bringing deep community ties, business savvy, and a clear mission to elevate Harlem through economic opportunity and cultural ownership.

A Free, All-Day Party in the Heart of Harlem

The grand opening is free and open to the public, with food, games, and celebrations going throughout the day. Media outlets are encouraged to arrive by 3 PM ET to catch key moments with VIPs and artists.

This is the kind of event where beats, business, and the block all come together—and where the future of New York’s legal scene starts to look a lot more like the people who built its foundation.
