Legendary Boston MC, Edo.G, has organized the first annual Boston Hip-Hop Unity Fest.
According to the
Boston Globe, the event will take place on Wednesday, May 30 at the Paradise Rock
Club and will feature performances from Mr.Lif, Akrobatik, 7L & Esoteric, Special Teamz, Krumb Snatcha, Termanology, Dre Robinson and Jake The Snake.
“Boston has always been about cliques when it comes to hip-hop,” Edo.G tells the
Boston Globe.
“What I tried to do was to get acts from all parts of the city and bring them together.
There are a lot of talented people out there, but fans really can never see them on one bill.
” The goal of the Unity Fest is to promote peace in the city and reinvigorate the Boston hip-hop scene, which was never been showcased on a national or mainstream level".
“There’s a lot of bad blood and violence in the city these days,” longtime underground MC, Esoteric, tells the
Boston Globe. “Hopefully the idea of unity really doesn’t have to really be limited to music and can be more about Boston.”
