Brooklyn Hip Hop Recap - Photos

Hey Everyone! I know I should've posted this a couple weeks ago after the event, but it's better late than never. I'd like to thank all the people that supported the brand. The overall event was cool and Busta Rhymes killed his performance. He brought out Slick Rick, A Tribe Called Quest, Buckshot, and reunited with his Leaders of a New School members to perform during his set. Check out some of the pictures from that day.

It made sense that the Brooklyn Nets were there.

The graphic designer who designed the cover of the book she's holding. The booth next to ours contained all these novels and she designed the covers for all.

It's like a Zombie Apocalypse. The cover for the fence came down and people outside of the festival were looking in.

One of my favorite hip hop artists, Tonedeff of Qn5 Music and the latest podcast "Tacos & Chocolate Milk" with PackFM(who's booth was next to mine-I'm a big fan if you didn't know) Both Tonedeff and PackFM were definitely inspiration when I was working on Branded Baron designs and I'm very happy to see Tonedeff now own a Branded Baron tee.  I highly recommend you check out his work as well as everyone on the Qn5 roster.

Busta kept performing even when they cut the miss and the crowd rapped along with him. It was a very cool moment and you have to have a lot of command over the crowd to be able to do so.

Here is a video from the Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival featuring Busta Rhymes, Leaders of the New School, and A Tribe Called Quest. Busta Rhymes had the crowd going crazy and still performed even after they cut off his mic during his set, which had the crowd rap along with him. I have to post my pictures from that day, but in the meantime check out what happened.

8th Annual Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival Saturday!

This Saturday is the 8th Annual Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival with the Busta Rhymes headlining, whom I'm excited to see him perform. The Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival is always fun and I'm excited to have a booth there again. This will be the 3rd time Branded Baron will be selling there and enjoying the atmosphere. I look forward to meeting new people and seeing some familiar faces. If you do attend stop by and say "hello". I will be bringing back the Statue of Liberty tank tops, so maybe you might want to pick one up if you did not get a chance last year.

Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival 2011 Recap Video

Hello everyone! I know I've been slacking on the blog and I apologize. Finally here is a video recap of what you missed. It is only a sample of some of the performances and what went down. It was a hot day, but it was great day. Tons of performers, a lot of vendors(too many if you ask me and some that I didn't think should've been there, but whatever), graff artists, and all around good hip hop vibe. Here are some extra videos with Kanye West and Busta Rhymes on stage with Q-tip. Let me tell you everyone went nuts and it was hard for me to get a picture or video the performance. The performances overall were on point, because I became new fans for some artists. Since I knew Q-tip was headlining, I definitely hoped he brought out Busta for "Scenario" and he did and I was happy. Q-tip even brought out Monie Love. Honestly the whole day was crazy. I'm mad I wasn't able to catch everyone, because I was selling Branded Baron tees and tanks, but hey it's okay.

I still have to give my recap and I apologize for not posting. I've been incredibly busy this past week and I'll be gone this weekend, so it'll be longer than expected but it'll give me time to fully evaluate the time.
