Good Afternoon FuseBox Radio Broadcast and BlackRadioIsBack.com family!
Once upon a time, after the big rush of the various spring & summertime national and international music festivals, the fall season used to be kind of dry in regards to having big events to check out diverse groups of musicians doing their thing at one grand showcase.
When factoring in affordability for the average person who did not want to be in serious debt before the holidays, that number of events narrowed down to damn near next to nothing.
Then Rock The Bells occurred.
Ten (!) years ago, the folks at Guerrilla Union set up a multi-day festival to represent old & new school Hip-Hop from all over the globe, grabbing up both veteran and up & coming MCs, DJs & more to do their thing on stage.
The Ten Year Anniversary shows for Rock The Bells are jumping off in grand style, having stops in New York City, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C. and San Francisco.
There's a pretty sweet mix of talented Hip-Hop folk representing at the D.C. Rock The Bells 2 day stop, from rap's Golden Age (Big Daddy Kane, KRS-One, Slick Rick, Rakim & Doug E. Fresh & more), the mid-to-late 1990s/early 2000s indie and major label Rap Renaissance representers (Wu-Tang Clan, E-40 & Too Short, Talib Kweli, Immortal Technique, Freeway, Sean Price, Dilated Peoples, Supernatural, etc.) and the 2000s "From the Streets To The Internets To The Stage" era of rap (A$AP Mob, Black Hippy, Hopsin, Earl Sweatshirt, Danny Brown, Rapsody & 9th Wonder, etc.).
With damn near over 25 acts per day performing at RFK Stadium on September 28th & 29th, the price for Rock The Bells tickets is a pretty sweet bargain.
