Rock The Bells:Hip Hop Festival Grows and Grows

The Rock The Bells festival was created a few years ago to address the absolute dirth of quality hip hop shows and the total absence of hip hop festivals (yo, what happened to the HoB tours ofthe 90s??) .


This year's festival will take place over two days, August 5th in San Bernardino, California and August 6th at Sleep Train Ampitheatre in Northern California. The festival features Wu-Tang Clan, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Redman, De La Soul, Living Legends, Del Tha Funky Homosapien, and many more (including rapper, Supernatural, who plans to beat the Guinness world record for longest freestyle rap by rapping for nearly 9 hours straight). The event will also feature the other elements of hip hop with stages for turntablism, b-boying, and graffiti.

The promoters plan to tour the festival later in the year.
