A$AP ROCKY confirmed for Blockfest

Posted on by olle

We’re stoked to announce that A$AP Rocky is confirmed for Blockfest 2016. Blockfest takes place in Tampere, Finland, between August 19th and 20th.

The A$AP Mob frontman will be performing for the first time at Blockfest. Critically acclaimed rapper and producer has conquered the number one spot on the Billboard 200 with both of his major label albums. At the same time, A$AP Rocky has became one of the most influential characters in the music industry.
His latest release, “At. Long. Last. A$AP” has been considered one the best albums of 2015. Instead of trying to repeat the success he acquired with previous hits like “Fuckin’ Problems”, “Fashion Killa” or “Wild For The Night”, the Harlem-based trendsetter has successfully evolved his style even further, and the new material can be described as psychedelic rap.

Posted on by olle

We’re happy to announce that legendary hiphop trio CunninLynguists is confirmed for Openair Frauenfeld in Switzerland. The festival takes place between July 7-9.

CunninLynguists have one of the most consistent catalogues of any current hip hop act, and they have built one of the most loyal worldwide fan bases in all of indie rap, without the help of a bigger record label. They have been going strong for fifteen years and with their southern boom-bap, strong lyrics and energetic live shows they are at the top of their game and more relevant than ever.  They have toured and shared stages with Kanye West, Aesop Rock, Nappy Roots, Cee-Lo Green (Goodie Mob), People Under The Stairs, Raekwon and Brand Nubian and produced for Lil’ Scrappy as well as KRS-One.
