Chuck Chillout was one of the first radio DJs to help get hip-hop on the airwaves in New York City in the 1980s, according to the event promoters. “In celebration of his 40th anniversary on the radio, ‘Uncle’ Ralph McDaniels and Bugsy host a bevy of old-school MCs and DJs at a party high on nostalgia and hip-hop history,” they said.

The festival line-up includes the former gangster rapper and current Hollywood star Ice T; Brownsville, Brooklyn duo M.O.P., of “Ante Up” fame; Schoolly D, the influential Philly rapper and Afrocentric innovator who wrote the theme song to Cartoon Network’s Aqua Teen Hunger Force; Peter Gunz & Lord Tariq, whose Steely Dan-sampling hit “Déjá Vu” is an enduring Uptown classic; Queens duo Super Lover Cee & Casanova Rud, who cut the cult classic 1988 LP Girls I’ve Got ‘Em Locked; and CL Smooth, whose work with Pete Rock stands as some of the best rap of hip-hop’s Golden Age.

It also includes Joeski Love, the MC best known for his massive 1986 single “Pee Wee’s Dance”; Pioneers D.J. Breakout and the Funky Four + 1, one of the earliest hip-hop groups to form in The Bronx, and featured in the classic film ‘Wild Style;’ The Ultramagnetic MCs, the legendary Bronx crew that produced Kool Keith; NINE, the Bronx MC who caught his break on Funkmaster Flex and the Ghetto Celebs’ “Six Million Ways to Die”; Al B. Sure!; and Camp Lo, the Bronx duo comprising Sonny Cheeba and Geechi Suede, whose enduring hit “Luchini (This Is It)” is one of the most recognizable songs in hip-hop.

DJ Chuck Chillout himself will also perform alongside his MC partner Kool Chip.

On Friday, Aug. 2, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., SummerStage in Crotona Park continues with the Tedsmooth Freestyle Jam featuring Coro, C-Bank, DJ Serg, Anthony Mangini, Tedsmooth, JAYBOOGIENYC, and Strafe.

For the 15th time, GhanaFest brings its annual public installation and celebration of Ghanaian culture and heritage to residents of and visitors to New York City. This year’s event is headlined by King Promise, the Accra-born artist who’s quickly become one of the most sought-after names in highlife and Afrobeats music.

Of late, he’s drawn inspiration from Ghanaian drill, the South African Amapiano scene, and British artists such as NSG and Headie One. His latest LP, 5 Star, finds him ruminating on what he finds most important: family, life, and love. He’s joined by the nascent Bronx Afrobeats singer Dan Price the Artist and DJ Faddah.
