All year, HHTF will be celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the New York City Festival coming in October 1 – 16, 2010. As a way to share the joy HHTF enlisted an eclectic mix of its favorite DJs to bless us with original sounds and new favorites.
10 years.
Seems like a lifetime since the Y2K scare, and the new millennium dawned upon us. You could argue that nothing has changed more than Hip-Hop.
However, as the movement has changed, there have been beacons that have kept the essence of the movement alive. And being at the forefront of this movement for 10 years takes work. Through that work, there are moments you want to kick back, and vibe out. Well, this is it.
Kick back, vibe out, and help us honor 10 years of celebrating the movement on stage with a mixtape series that takes a look back at this decade.
