Last weekend I attended the 3rd annual Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival presented by BROOKLYN BODEGA. It was an incredible day as the weather was great, the music was powerful and the joy of seeing so many legendary lyricists sharing the same stage was priceless. Hosted by Ralph McDaniels, the event lasted a little over 8 hours. Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz presented a plaque to the organizers proclaiming June 23rd as Brooklyn Hip Hop Day. Some of Brooklyn's greatest emcees put in work that day. Chubb Rock, Smif- N-Wessun, Sean Price, and Jeru The Damaja showed some Brooklyn love. There were additional appearances and performances by Consequence, Skillz, Ghostface (headlining), Cappadonna, Trife, Fat Joe, PMD, Large Professor, Dres from Black Sheep, and Djs J. Period and Sucio Smash kept the crowd moving with the breakbeats. Here are some pics and video from the event:
