"Rock The Bells 2012 (in Montainview, Cali) was one of my best Hip Hop festivals ever!!" -DJ OHH!
Looking back on what an incredible-well put together festival with a buffet of Hip Hop performances from the legendary naughty By Nature,Method Man and Redman, Prodigy and future artists such as J Cole, Yelawolf, Dom Kennedy just to name a few. There's something to be said about how the Hip Hop culture can be wide-spread for all people no matter what our differences. Here I was in the midst of the #BayArea screening what they call Hip Hop, no matter if the artist was regional or recognized world-wide. The crowd loved it, even though hypothetically 95% of the performers shouted out "bay area" to get the crowd's buy-in."Its not where you're from; its where you at."--Mobb Deep
There were so many highlights for me that I wanted talk about a few and let the videos and picture I captured speak for themselves. I have plenty of video and what you see below is just a snippet of what I captured, so stay tuned for future post with additional video content.

Big-ups to Rock The Bells and Guerilla Union for putting on a very safe and "smoked-out" event. In Cali, we trust...LOL.A huge shout-out to everyone that came out from the bay, the luv was definitely there. And of course a big standing ovation shout out to all the artists that came out and performed. I know its not hard to come out to Cali for good weather and "Girl Scout Cookies", ya dig lol......
