Jay Electronica And Raekwon To Headline 2014 Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival
by Staff Editor
Celebrating its 10th year benchmark the Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival will commemorate a decade of music with Jay Electronica and Raekwon headlining. The festival takes place July 9 to 14 with Jay and Rae performing on the 12th. The festival lineup also includes Joey Bada$$ and CJ Fly.
Raekwon will be the second Wu-Tang Clan member to headline the festival, following Ghostface in 2007. According to Executive Director Wes Jackson, it wasn’t hard to convince Jay Electronica to headline, XXL reports. Following the announcement, Electronica refused to be a part of the festival if he was the headliner over Raekwon, preferring to perform before the legend as a show of respect.
