Featured performers include early-1990s Hunters Point legends RBL Posse (“Don’t Give Me No Bammer Weed,” “Blue Bird“) alongside Hunters Point’s new breed, Prezi (“Do Better“). The day also pairs up Fillmore stalwarts Show Banga & Ronski (“That Filthy“) with a set from current Fillmore sensation Stunnaman02—whose “Big Steppin’” is so ubiquitous, so long-lasting, that if you haven’t heard it or done its viral dance, uh… do you even live in the Bay?
For your $10 ticket, also expect food trucks (area fave Señor Sisig among them) and vendors (Cookies, naturally), plus special silkscreening by artists Colin Taniguchi and Kuya George. The event’s producer EMPIRE collaborates with FTC Skateboards for some planned merch, and a 45rpm record from EMPIRE specially for the event will be available, with music by Andre Nickatina, RBL Posse and FO15.
And it don’t stop: that same night at 7pm, right up the street at KQED’s new event space, Rightnowish host Pendarvis Harshaw interviews Rocky Rivera, the Filipina American MC, author, educator and journalist, before she delivers her own solo set with DJ Roza.
Where was Rocky raised, you ask? Of course: the 415.
