“We are so excited to be bringing together one of the greatest hip hop line-ups in the last ten years featuring three truly ground-breaking live hip hop acts. We are making this into a real celebration of the genre and will be featuring plenty of special guest rappers and DJs to boot. I am sure this special event will be remembered for generations going forward,” says Rob Waller, Founder and Programmer of the Margate Summer Series.
