Brooklyn Bodega, producers of the annual Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival (BHF), are
proud to announce that legendary Brooklyn MC, Busta Rhymes will be headlining
the 8th Annual Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival. Festivalgoers from 2011 will remember
Busta’s show stopping cameo with long time collaborator and friend, Q-Tip.
The Flatbush MC was part of Q-Tip’s “Friends” and helped launched
The Festival’s ” …..and Friends” concept where headliners
are carefully chosen to not only reflect the mission of the Festival but also
to be honored by it.
Brooklyn Bodega wanted to work with Busta as his 20+ year career is as rare
in Hip-Hop as is his signature style. From forming Leaders Of the New School
to collaborating with Chris Brown, Busta has set the standard for creating a
fortified and powerful career that has helped Hip-Hop grow and evolve from the
streets of New York to the most powerful voice on the planet.
Brooklyn’s own Trevor Smith has endured multiple deals, group break ups
and the ever fickle admiration of fans and critics. No other artist has been
able to touch so many spheres in Hip-Hop. From working and signing with Dr.
Dre, mentoring artists like Roc Marciano to now joining foster with Lil Wayne’s
YMCMB roster.
While Busta is know for his hits like “Whoo Ha“, “Put Your
Hands When My Eyes Can See“, “Another Case of the PTA” with
Leaders Of The New School, and a host of others, he also worked extensively
with the likes of the late James “J Dilla” Yancey, The Bomb Squad
(Public Enemy, Ice Cube) and The Large Professor. His connections to the best
and brightest go deeper as for years the late legendary Grandmaster Roc Raida
manned the Technics 1200 "s as Busta’s DJ.
