Lovers of classic hip hop may want to book a flight to Strasbourg sharpish as one of the greatest hip hop line ups we've seen in ages arrives at Festival Des Artefacts on June 24th.

Headlined by masterful Californian rap trio Cypress Hill, the Festival Des Artefacts team have invited the best of the hip hop brotherhood to the city, with eleven time Grammy winner Busta Rhymes (relive his timeless 'Break Ya Neck' above), Wu-Tang anchor Method Man and regular cohort Redman, and hardcore East Coast rappers Mobb Deep performing live sets.

The addition of two of the greatest hip hop producers and turntablists just seals the deal - DJ Premier and DJ Shadow.

Festival Des Artefacts, we salute you. Head here for more on the festival.
