Pusha T and Newark, New Jersey’s own Redman are just a few of the acts scheduled to appear at the nearly week-long Hip Hop extravaganza that is the annual Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival. The announcement was made earlier today via Twitter thanks to an update made from the festival’s official Twitter account.
This year’s festival will take place from July 8 to July 13 at various locations throughout Brooklyn including Brooklyn Bridge Park and will consist of discussions, parties, and exhibitions on top of the expected live performances.
Launched in 2005, the Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival has welcomed appearances from a number of Hip Hop greats including Big Daddy Kane, Ghostface Killah, KRS-One, and DJ Premier.
Tickets to the Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival currently range in price from $20 to $75 and can be purchased through Eventbrite.com.

UPDATE: In addition to EPMD’s appearance on the 2013 Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival, Brooklyn Bodega, the event producers, have now announced a special tribute to the late Beastie Boys co-founder, Adam “MCA” Yauch.
Although details are to be revealed, Brooklyn Bodega’s head, Wes Jackson released the following statement: “We reached out to Ad Rock right after MCA passed [in 2012] and asked if there was anything we could do to help celebrate the life of his brother. It was so soon that we were hesitant to even reach out. We wanted to give them space and time. We did speak to Cey Adams [longtime Beastie Boyss collaborator and friend] and tried to put something together but the timing wasn’t right. We couldn’t go another year without taking time out to honor what MCA did for our culture and our music.”

Pusha tranny just doesnt have what it takes to fill the arenas the way drake and all of ym does, nobody wants to hear about some gangsta fairytales while wayne and tyga stay runnin the rap game
Everything you say is bullshit lies.
Home schooled retard. Pusha T isn’t going to do a show if all someone has to do is pay $20 to see him. Point being much like your life, this show is pathetic.
you’re mad because you can’t go
It says he’s set to perform so obviously he’s not rollin in as much dough as he claims too, and by the sound of your response I’d say neither are you. Broke scrub. Go find a hobby.

Cage, if you weren’t pointing out spelling errors on the net what would you be doing? I’m gonna take a wild guess and say nothing. Shame on your parents for raising a republican.
Drake and Lil Wayne ethered Pusha T wit deir innovative lyrics and huge numbers. u cant fuck with YMCMB itz deeper den Rap. swag
i dont think either of them even responded to pusha in rap other than “f*** pusha t”…. that is not even close to ether. that is like low grade gasoline at best.
I’m overjoyed that I won’t be going.
wiggers can’t be considered legends in hiphop only niggas alloud fuck off you crackers.
U racist fuck. If it wasnt for the beastie boys def jam wouldnt be half as successful as they are now.
