Weekend Recap Part III : The 1st Annual Akron Hip Hop Festival


Man that shit was DOPE!!! If you missed it put that bad boy in your calendar for next year. HANDS DOWN #1 SLEEPER EVENT OF THE YEAR!!!!

Here's what you missed

REAL B-boys demonstrating and discussing the art of break dancing

REAL DJ's killin the crowd with GOOD music (not that bullshit these kids listen to nowadays)

REAL MC's on the mic moving the crowd! (Did I mention that SLICK RICK and DOUG E FRESH performed?!?!)

Here's pictures of what you missed:


The Lock 3 Pavillion where the festival took place

MickBoogie came home for a show (bet you didn't know he was from Akron and not Cleveland)

Hard at work (this shit is amazing to see from start to finish..a true art form)

.....
tag team..literally..lol
Doug E Fresh rockin the crowd
leanin with it (I swear he requested my dougie it was great!)

LOOK AT THE BOY SLICK RICK...MAN his neck has to be hella strong!!

Look at that bracelet! This man is out of control! His stage show was crazy too!

Not to mention there were vendors selling kicks and t-shirts, and all types of good stuff. Local favorite POETIC REPUBLIC performed (I was literally 2mins too late to catch the performance...I'm SO salty...look out for my-up coming review on The Natural Progess of Things) The shit hands down was DOPE and it was ONLY $5!!!!!

Seriously people of all ages and races came out for the festival this past Saturday in Akron. The weather was gorgeous and the event went down without an incident. Congratulations and good job to the organizers of this event. I'm definitely looking forward to next year's!

**Sincerely Serious**
