Arguably one of the top 10 greatest MCs ever, Rakim makes a rare appearance in Houston. He'll be supported by a stellar cast of MCs and DJs, both local and national. Kid Capri has produced for a lot of heavy hitters in the early 90's hip-hop scene, from Heavy D to BDP and more. Ras Kass made a huge splash on the indie hip-hop scene back in the late 90's, but faded off the radar. He released a solid solo album to lukewarm reviews last year but has been making waves again with the critics. V-Zilla, aka VG Skillz is one of the hardest working local MCs around.
