Kevvy Kev’s Bang the Drum 2008 (24 DJs, 24 MCs)

KevvyKev is a legendary bay area hip hop DJ and the host of the world’s longest continuously running hip hop radio show. The Drum runs on Sundays 6-9pm PST on my own station, KZSU as it has for 24 years now.

To celebrate 24 years on the air, KevvyKev’s hosting yet another free Bang the Drum concert, featuring 24 DJs and 24 MCs for an afternoon of hip hop in Golden Gate Park.

You can attend on Sunday, August 31 from 1-5pm in Phoenix Meadow in Golden Gate Park. There’s an after party that night 10pm-2am at the DNA Lounge. Don’t worry it being late, either–you probably have the next day, Labor Day, off.

Here are some of the scheduled performers:

Canibus
Das EFX
East Flatbush Project
Oakland Faders
Dan the Automator
Peanut Butter Wolf
Rec League
4OneFunk
Pam the Funkstress
Foreign Legion
Delinquent Monastery
Boom Bap Project
D-Sharp
LCJ
Radioactive
Motion Man
Bash Brothers
Bayliens
Lunar Heights
Secluded Journalists

I think this will be a pretty amazing event.

Update: KevvyKev provides this map of the concert location.
