Back in 2011, BHF broke attendance records with over 20,000 attendees. Fans came out in packs for Performance Day under the Brooklyn Bridge for "Q-Tip & Friends." 

Alongside Q-Tip were performances by Kendrick Lamar, Homeboy SandmanM.O.P.Kanye WestBusta Rhymes and Monie Love.  

The following year, the "Busta Rhymes & Friends" set shut the show down, literally. 

Busta collaborated on stage with Spliff Star and Buckshot of Black MoonSmif -N-Wessun, Lil' Fame of M.O.P., Slick Rick and Reek Da Villian

The performance also included a Leaders Of The New School reunion with Charlie Brown and Dinco D

Taking all of that into consideration, we're sure this year's Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival will not disappoint.
