A hip-hop icon since the early 1990s, Nas emerged from the Queensbridge neighbourhood of Long Island City, becoming one of the world’s leading MC’s and selling more than 20 million albums worldwide. He scooped 13 Grammy awards in the process.
Rap veteran DMX began his career in the 90s with debut studio album It’s Dark and Hell Is Not, the first of seven studio albums.
The Lox are headed up by Jadakiss, Sheek Louch and Styles P. The New York-based rap trio have worked alongside the likes of Puff Daddy, the Notorious B.I.G, Mary J Blige and Mariah Carey.
Gang Starr is also set to play a special Legacy set with a live band and visual experience, paying tribute to original founding member Guru. Having just released their first album in sixteen years, One of the Best Yet, the record was produced entirely by DJ Premier with vocals from Guru.
