Wu-Tang and Rhymefest Help Celebrate The Legendary Rock Steady Crew's 29th Anniversary
The Rock Steady Crew will be celebrating their 29th Anniversary this month with four days of festivities in New York City and New Jersey.
The b-boy/b-girl collective along with Backspin productions will host numerous events including an underground celebrity basketball game, the 2nd Annual Spy Awards, an invitation-only B-boy/B-girl Battle and a free outdoor concert.
Artists expected to perform at the outdoor concert include Big Daddy Kane, Large Professor, Rhymefest, The Beatnuts, GZA, Masta Killa, Ill Bill and various surprise guests.
"This is a pilgrimage for all," said Rock Steady Crew President Crazy Legs, via a statement. "People come from all around the world to attend the anniversary to bridge the gaps between cultures through hip-hop."
As previously reported, Crazy Legs played a key part in the development of the forthcoming videogame "B- Boy." Attendees of the anniversary's festivities will get to be the first to play the game and show off their b-boy gaming skills.
B-Boy will be released on PS2 and PSP this fall.
