BRIC Hip-Hop 50th Anniversary Weekend - Digable Planets @ Lena Horne Bandshell

On Fri, August 11 and Sat, August 12, join us for BRIC Hip-Hop 50th Anniversary Weekend at BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! 2023 featuring performances by Digable PlanetsKari Faux, Wiki, Donwill, and Quinnette; a screening of the movie Brown Sugar; Hip-Hop games and talks; and more!

 

FRIDAY, AUGUST 11

Digable Planets brings their unapologetically political, Afrofuturist Hip-Hop to the bandshell to celebrate 30 years of their seminal debut Reachin’ (A New Refutation of Time and Space). Southern alt-rap darling Kari Faux will perform music from her new album REAL B*TCHES DON’T DIE! for an evening that honors the expansive creativity that’s allowed Hip-Hop to change the world over the last five decades. NYC indie rap ingénue Wiki and beloved Brooklyn DJ and creative Donwill begin the evening.

 

*Please Note: A limited amount of chairs will be available at this show, but you are also permitted to bring your own. For our d/Deaf and hard of hearing communities, we will have an ASL interpreter at the left side of the stage.
