Hailing from New Rochelle, NY Brand Nubian formed in 1989. Known for their storytelling style and politically motivated lyrics, the group signed to Elektra and released their breakthrough album, "One For All." Members Lord Jamal, Grand Puba and Sadat X have created many Hip Hop classics including "Slow Down," "Love Me or Leave Me Alone," "One For All," and street favorite "Punks Jump Up to Get Beat Down."

Little Brother's members MC's Phonte and Big Pooh, along with DJ/Producer 9th Wonder met in 1998 while attending North Carolina Central University. Members of the Durham Hip Hop's Justus League crew, the group released their first album The Listening on ABB Records. They are gearing up for their sophomore album release this summer.

Fresh off his 2005 Grammy win for co-writing the rap song of the year "Jesus Walks" with Kanye West, Chicago native, Rhymefest is set to release his highly- anticipated debut album Blue Collar, this summer on celebrity DJ Mark Ronson's Allido Records/J Records. The sharp-witted MC is expected to have fellow Chi-town representatives, Kanye, Twista, Common and Carl Thomas as well as Q-Tip and the late Dirt McGirt (aka ODB) featured on his album. This will be his first major performance in NYC and Brooklyn in particular.

One listen to Leela James's music and it's evident that James is a pupil and conduit of classic soul. Alma Geddy-Romero, went on to say, "We're really excited to add Leela to the line up as an extension of the marketing campaign we are doing for her project. My DJs love her music, and I'm positive the festival attendees will as well."
