Among local artists who will be performing are DJ ITSJUSTAHMAD, Black Collar Biz, NAMEBRAND (featuring Sonic Assad and Rell Gambino) and more. The full list of performers can be found at the event’s website.
The Vicious Styles Crew, based out of Trenton, coordinates the event and is hosting a pre-party show called Cantankerous, which according to the release, is being sponsored by Momentum Art Tech. That event begins at 6 p.m. on Friday August 8 and runs until 10 p.m. at the Terracycle office.
