Hip-hop 50th anniversary: New Brunswick greats celebrate

Hail, hail Hub City hip-hop.

New Brunswick hip-hop talents will converge Saturday, Sept. 23, at the Hip-Hop 50 New Brunswick show at the city’s Barca City Cafe and Bar. City hip-hop, spanning generations, will perform, and the night will include all manifestations of hip-hop culture, including deejaying, emceeing, breakdancing and graffiti.

Like the famous Turnpike sign says, there’s no U-Turn on Exit 9. The city’s hip-hop is direct, full-on, and doesn’t retreat.

“Fearlessness as always,” said Eloh Kush, who is performing on Saturday, about his lessons learned from the city’s hip-hop scene. “New Brunswick teaches you no fear.”
