Tastemakers: Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival (Ep. 1: The Genesis)

HOW BROOKLYN HIP HOP FESTIVAL WAS CREATED

The Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival events begin this Wednesday (July 8th) with “The Hip-Hop Institute” at Medgar Evers College. But, before the Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival became the premiere Hip Hop festival for Brooklyn, it was a thought in the head of Brooklyn Bodega founder Wes Jackson while visiting New Orleans.

In the first epiosde of CulturedApproved.com and AllHipHop’s Tastemakers feature on The Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival, the Brooklyn Bodega and artists explain the festival’s origin.

The Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival events span from July 8th to 11th. Get tickets here.
