The 2012 Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival is quickly approaching, and the run-up to this yearly extravaganza continues in full force as the Show & Prove competition rolls on, with artists competing for the top spot, which will offer them the opportunity to rock in front of thousands on the main stage at the Festival.
April’s first round, a tight competition between JuS, JimmYAge, Kounsel and Rasheed Chappell saw Rasheed Chappell take the top spot with a sharp performance.
