The annual CMJ Music Marathon & Film Festival is in full swing, and so far, we’ve experienced several great hip hop events throughout New York City. The action continues as the weekend begins, and the last two days of the CMJ Music Marathon & Film Festival are chock full of hip hop events that should not be missed.
Below are a few of the highlighted showcases and concerts that you should be aware of. For a continuously updated NY-area hip hop events calendar, for CMJ and throughout the year, check www.BirthplaceMag.com/events.
In the meantime, here are the select hip hop happenings on Friday, October 21, 2011. We’ll be out an about for some of them, so if you see someone wearing a Birthplace Magazine shirt, stop us and say hi. And buy us a drink. You may win a prize!
