What’s the chances Jadakiss battles Dip Set all over again? Just sayin.’
Keep in mind, those are just the first names announced as more are expected to joint the festivities in Forest Hills Stadium in Queens come August 6th.
According to HypeBeast, LL Cool J couldn’t be bringing this event to his hometown of Queens, NY.
“This festival is my way of showing love to the community of Hip-Hop and celebrating the incredible journey this culture has taken, going from DJ Kool Herc’s Sedgwick Avenue rec room, to the global phenomenon we all cherish today,” LL Cool J said. “Getting to bring some of the most iconic and influential Hip-Hop artists to the same stage, in my hometown and the city that started it all, is an honor and I can’t wait for everyone to see what we have in store for them.”
The “Rock The Bells” rapper is obviously counting down the days.
