Brooklyn Hip Hop Fest starts today; Nas, 9th Wonder, OSHUN & more playing the final show
The 2016 Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival begins today (7/13). As always, the most anticipated event is the big concert on the last day, Saturday (7/16), and there have been a few updates to that since we last spoke.
You already knew about Queensbridge legend Nas, NYC staples Fabolous and Talib Kweli, and rising North Carolina rapper Rapsody, who also play the main stage. That stage also has Rapsody collaborator (and veteran producer) 9th Wonder, plus brass ensemble The Soul Rebels, who often collaborate with cool rappers. On the side stage there’s NYC’s best new neo-soul group OSHUN, Duck Down associate Skyzoo, and more. Check out the full lineup for both stages below.
The Saturday show goes down from 1-8 PM on Saturday with the main stage at Brooklyn Bridge Park in DUMBO, and the side stage at St. Ann’s Warehouse. Tickets are still available, and if you can’t make it you can also stream it live.
