This is about education and entertainment. With crew battles, hot DJs, panels and live graffiti shows our 30th promises to showcase everything hip-hop represents.” This year’s RSC Anniversary will feature appearances from Sway of MTV, Rob Swift, RSC founder Joe Joe, Large Professor, Mr. Wiggles, Keith Murray, EPMD and Grandmaster Mele Mel.
