(AllHipHop News) Last night (June 13) at the Rock the Bells Press Conference and Fan Appreciation Party in New York City, it was announced that several performers would be added to this year’s already enormous lineup.

Big Sean, Curren$y, M.O.P., Sean Price, and Action Bronson have been added to a festival bill that already features the likes of Nas, Kid Cudi, Wiz Khalida, Atmosphere, A$AP Rocky, Method Man and Redman, Immortal Technique, J. Cole, and over 30 other acts.

Festival planners revealed last week DMX and Jadakiss had been added to the bill, both of whom were present at last night’s press conference. Eve was also added, as was the announcement that members of D-Block and Wu-Tang would be coming together to perform their new collaborative album, Wu-Block, in its entirety.

This year, as they have done in the past, Rock the Bells will hit three cities for two days each – this time in San Bernardino and Mountain View in California, and Holmdel, NJ, with specific lineups created for each city.

Of the new performers, only Curren$y and Sean Price will be added to the August 18-19 San Bernardino event, while Big Sean, Curren$y, M.O.P., Action Bronson, and Sean Price will all touch down in New Jersey during Labor Day weekend.

Greetings and Salutations, my movers and shakers!

Welcome to another day and another opportunity to do it better!! Today’s Daily Word is
dedicated to taking risk! “No one will believe until you believe you!!! If you aren’t willing to invest in your own dream, why would anyone else? If you are afraid to take risks on your own aspirations, how can you expect to get past the mediocre? If you are sitting on the sidelines waiting for circumstances to change, how can you be upset that life keeps passing you by?

Be Daring!! Be Willing!! The absolute worst that can happen when taking risks is 1,000 times better than doing nothing! Life is for living, and the only way to live to the fullest is to be willing to sacrifice for what you really want! YES! It may be uncomfortable!! YES!! You may feel embarrassed at times!! And YES!! You may fail more than once, but the price you pay is so small compared to what you gain, that it would be ridiculous to continue to not try!!

Only those who are willing to go for broke can reap the benefits that life has waiting for you!! There is a bag of abundance in your name waiting for you to claim it! The journey to get to it may be a long and hard one, but once you get past the struggles, the rest is smooth sailing!! Don’t give up on your dreams because of some potential things that might not ever happen!!! Bet the house on you!!! It’s the best investment you’ll ever make!!! NOTHING CAN STOP YOU!!
