Brooklyn Bodega’s
Annual Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival
Established in 2005, The Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival is New York City’s largest HipHop cultural event that showcases the positive aspects of Hip-Hop culture by
highlighting Hip-Hop’s legacy as an agent of artistic progression, community
building and social change.
In addition to musical performances, the Festival offers a number of activities
for its audience, including: panel discussions, exhibitions, parties, an award show
and a family-friendly block party. The Festival is more than a concert or outdoor
fair. It is a family reunion for lovers of this great culture.
In the last nine years, the Festival has achieved a number of memorable milestones with an impressive roster of Hip-Hop acts that include Grammy winner
(Lupe Fiasco), the front man of Jimmy Fallon’s late night band (Black Thought
of The Roots) and VH1 Hip-Hop Honoree (Big Daddy Kane). (Cont’d)
