Alright y’all. Drink your water. Eat your vegetables and proteins.
Two weeks from today the 4th Annual Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival will begin at the Masonic Temple in Fort Greene.
Speaking of July 10th at Masonic we will have a SUPER BIG artist announcement on Monday. We just need this cat to finish another obligation in NYC before we can announce for our little shindig.
July 11th we will be at powerHouse with High Water Music, Sucio Smash, Fresh Daily, Sputnik Brown, P. Casso and friends. Free admission (donations accepted of course), Free Beer courtesy of our family at Brooklyn Brewery, and fresh beats. Sucio came by yesterday and told me he is inviting Spinna and Bobbito down as well.
On July 12th at Empire Fulton Ferry State Park is when ‘we gets busy.’ There is a lot going on so here is how you should play it:
At noon bring the little duns, your moms and auntie down to the park. Get free stuff from Nickelodeon, learn how to play lacrosse, check your blood sugar, take some salsa lessons, get some fresh lemonade from Jakada Juice and listen to our homegirl DJ Misbehaviour.
At about 3:30 tell Auntie to take the kids home because the show is about to begin. Go get a beer from the Brewery. Get a burger from Sal and the boys at Front Street. Or go get some grilled chicken from the good folks at Rice.
Tell Auntie to hurry back because we got some old school legends in the house she does not want to miss
Text your cousin and tell him Blu and Exile are about to rock. And he does not want to miss Mickey, Fresh or 88 either.
Get a mixtape and CD from the truth.com truck and say ‘thank you.’
Then buckle in because J Period is about to get on the wheels. And the word is he is bringing a gang of special guests like he did last year. And you missed Chubb Rock last year so don’t front.
After J, Buckshot will hit the stage with all of Brooklyn behind him. Time for ‘Who Got Da Props’, ‘Buck ‘Em Down’, some joints from the new 9th Wonder joint. I wouldn’t be surprised if Sean P, or Smif N Wessun come out.
Then my friends prepare to see the Greatest MC of All Time – motherskunkin’ Blastmaster KRS ONE Da Teacha. All you old farts – limber up because KRS is gonna take us back to the old school (‘take it to Union Square’). Young’uns – rest assured KRS can rock it for you as well. He is old school but is still the best there is on stage.
Then… catch your breath. We are not done yet.
Get a car, catch the train and head over to Southpaw. We are gonna take it to Detroit (Day-tway) with The Platinum Pied Pipers, House Shoes and Invincible. Downstairs DJ Parler will be spinning nothing but the goodness. Classic Hip-Hop from ’76 to now (no Lollipops).
Then you can go home.
Thank you and God Bless.
