NYC: Big Daddy Kane, Jarobi + Dres [Black Sheep] Live at BUA Legends of Hip-Hop Benefit [2/25]

This coming Saturday February 25th the Legends of Hip-Hop tour curated by prolific artist Justin BUA is touching down in NYC for Black History Month. A two-day, multimedia whirlwind of visual hip-hop, music and workshops, the whole thing is also a benefit for The Boys & Girls Club of NYC (yes, Beat Street is a lesson, too).  You might have to be an art collector or journalist to gain entry to some of the daytime events but Saturday night's performance from "The Legends of NYC" (right now Big Daddy Kane, Dres of Black Sheep and Jarobi are confirmed) is open to the public. Find details for the nighttime event on the flyer above and the art exhibit, panel discussion, book signing and other interactive b-boy madness after the jump.
