On Saturday, Rocksteady will also hold a 2-on-2 battle show. From 2:30pm to 7pm, XL Nightclub will play host to an event featuring Supernatural, DJ JS-1, Breakbeat Lou, and others. The event is hosted by Q-Unique and B-Boy YNOT.

Less than a year ago, Doug rocked the 2015 BET Hip Hop Awards stages alongside some of his disciples in the field of beat-boxing. Greg Nice and Smooth B celebrated their 30-years together with a recent East Coast tour. Furthermore, group co-founder Greg Nice was recently confirmed to be working on an album with Positive K under their group name, Great Minds.

Celebrating 20 years since her acclaimed, Gang Starr-produced debut album, Kollage, Bahamadia recently told Ambrosia For Heads: “I’m doing a lot of mentoring, creative workshops and stuff like that. I’ve been working on my own label, B-Girl Records for five or six years now. I had some personal issues – my mom transitioned – so I’ve been dealing with that loss. So we’ve been filtering the experiences through the writing. Not every song, per se, but there’s just the energy of me evolving into a different person, given such a great loss happened to me so abruptly. And just livin’, you know? Documenting things, focusing on the production and stuff like that. And journaling. I’ve been journaling for a while. I’m going to turn it into a memoir or somethin’.
