Want to see how vibrant and alive 蜜柚直播's hip-hop scene is?
Head downtown Saturday, Feb. 25, and you can experience a cast of 60 rappers including popular transplanted and local acts Murs, Lando Chill, Marley B, Cash Lansky and Jaca Zulu for the 2017 蜜柚直播 Hip Hop Festival.

In a written statement on the event's website, founder and organizer Pike Romero said the festival is meant to shine a spotlight on 蜜柚直播's hip-hop scene.
鈥淭he diversity of the 蜜柚直播 music scene explodes through hip hop, and it needs to be known," he said. "From events to style to a community unlike anywhere I've seen or heard, the quality of hip-hop artists here outweighs the quantity. Showcasing all of the elements of hip hop is about embracing 蜜柚直播鈥檚 culture.鈥
The festival also will have guest speakers including Justin Hunte of Hip Hop DX, Mello Music Group鈥檚 Michael Toole and professors from the University of 蜜柚直播's Hip Hop minor program to explore everything from native communities in hip hop to tips for artists on event booking and promotion.
