Boom Bap Festival taking UK hip hop to the next level

The UK's only festival dedicated to hip hop continues to take shape as Boom Bap Festival prepares to bring a host of acts to the East Anglian countryside. 

Marks their fifth year, Boom Bap will be returning to the fields of Midlenhall, Suffolk to unleash a line-up of hip hop and grime heavyweights. Expect veterans of the UK and US scenes, fresh newcomers, street wear and exclusive merch, vinyl on sale, a colourful site covered with graffiti and a tonne of friendly faces. Check out some of the action from 2015 below.

Topping the bill are the likes of Pharoahe Monch (read our interview with him here), RA The Rugged Man and Blade as the festival makes every effort to mix hometown heroes with major US names. 

Running from 29th - 31st July, the event will also see A-F-R-O, Da$h, Chester P and D Double E playing to a field full of hip hop enthusiasts.
