Rocksteady Crew Celebrates 29th Anniversary

The Rock Steady Crew (RSC) is set to celebrate its 29th Anniversary later this month with four days of planned festivities. This years events include an underground celebrity basketball game, the 2nd Annual Spy Awards, an invitation-only B-Boy/B-Girl Battle, and free outdoor concert. The Rock Steady 29th Anniversary is expected to attract over 20,000 Hip-Hop supporters from around the world and will feature appearances from the GZA and Masta Killah of Wu-Tang Clan, Big Daddy Kane, Large Professor, Rhymefest, Beat Nuts, and many more surprise guests. "This is a pilgrimage for all," RSC President Crazy Legs said in a statement. "People come from all around the world to attend the anniversary to bridge the gaps between cultures through Hip-Hop." Established in 1977 by Bronx B-Boys Jimmy D and Joe Joe, the Rock Steady Crew has grown to thousands worldwide, and has become synonymous with the preservation of true Hip-Hop culture. In 2003, Mayor Bloomberg proclaimed July 26th to be Rock Steady Crew Day in New York City. The Rock Steady 29th Anniversary celebration will be held July 27th through July 30th in the New York City and New Jersey areas.
