On July 19th in Boston Inebriated Rhythm has organized the first annual Hip-Hop Peace & Unity Festival. The free event will unite and celebrate Hip-Hop’s cultural diversity by promoting positivity. The City of Boston, Grit Records, Pepsi and Dunkin Donuts will sponsor the event.
Among those on-hand for the festival will be KRS-One, Big Daddy Kane, Skillz, PMD, and ED.O.G. In addition to performing material from his upcoming Grit Records release (“Down To A Science”), KRS will host a roundtable discussion (along with Kane and Pharaohe) with local businessmen and Congressmen.
