"AMERICA'S LARGEST HIP HOP FESTIVAL" Emcee Battle+DJ Battle+B-Boy Battle+Beatbox Battle+Graffiti Expo+50 Live Performances!!!
The original organizers of America’s largest hip-hop festival need your help to bring back an event that showcased real artists performing music, breakers, and art for thirteen consecutive years.
In order to be an authentic voice for the hip hop culture, festival organizers have repeatedly declined corporate sponsorships—we didn’t want to sell out the artists and fans we were putting on the show to celebrate. Five years ago we had to make the difficult decision that the event could no longer sustain itself via ticket sales alone.
Along came Kickstarter: the perfect forum for us to connect with the grassroots supporters who never wanted us to sell out their favorite artists to the highest bidder, but also didn’t want to pay sky-high ticket prices. We need the support of the people who lived it or wished they’d been around to experience the magic firsthand—the people who helped us put on thirteen consecutive festivals filled to capacity with breakers, MC’s, DJ’s, beat-boxers, and graffiti artists from around the world—YOU are the people we are asking to help.
