SUMMARY:MIKE's Young World: Max B / Thirteendegrees° / ERISTHEPLANET / SALIMATA / Niontay / Black Noi$e / MIKE with The Band of the Century
DESCRIPTION:As rapper and curator MIKE’s career has grown from teenage phenom into budding label owner\, so has the size of his tent. His annual Young World festival emerged from the intimate Abrons Art Center in lower Manhattan into the sprawling block party it’s become today\, taking over a sizable portion of Bed-Stuy’s largest park. This year MIKE curates a line up headlined by Max B\, the legendary Harlem MC who rose to prominence in the mid 2000s. Despite a 16 year incarceration from 2009-2025\, he maintained a strong influence on hip-hop’s sound and a cult-like fanbase that’s global\, but most pronounced in his hometown of NYC. For the first time in front of a wide audience\, MIKE will be backed by “the Band of the Century” – the band he developed for his NPR Tiny Desk concert. Cutting-edge genre pioneers Thirteendegrees°\, ERISTHEPLANET\, SALIMATA\, Niontay\, and Black Noi$e will also perform.

SUMMARY:Bilal / GENA / DJ Tara
DESCRIPTION:Presented with the legendary Apollo Theater\, this evening brings together boundary-pushing voices in R&B and soul. A foundational member of the loose late-’90s hip-hop/R&B collective the Soulquarians\, Bilal has an effortless\, understated swag. It oozes from every track of his 2001 debut 1st Born Second\, a retro yet fresh take on soul music at the turn of the century. He’s gotten more experimental as he’s grown\, collaborating with artists such as Kimbra\, Otis Brown III\, Kat Dahlia\, Slum Village\, and Kendrick Lamar on his third album To Pimp a Butterfly. Bilal’s latest release is Live at Glasshaus\, a live recording from an intimate\, career-spanning performance with Questlove\, Robert Glasper\, and Burniss Travis as his backing band. He’s joined by GENA\, a new project from the dynamic R&B artist Liv.e and renowned producer/drummer Karriem Riggins; their name stands for God Energy\, Naturally Amazing\, indicative of their improvisationally ordained approach to making music. On the ones and twos is DJ Tara\, host of misc. on The Lot Radio\, and co-founder of Donuts are Forever\, the longest running J Dilla tribute and fundraiser in the world.

SUMMARY:Bastille Day: Black M / Laurent Voulzy / Legends of the 80’s / Michel Polnareff
DESCRIPTION:For Bastille Day\, the Consulate General of France in New York imports four distinct acts from across the French pop landscape. Headlining is Black M\, French-Guinean rapper and member of the world-renowned group Sexion d’Assaut. Known for his animated personality and tongue-twisting rhyming style\, he broke out as a solo artist with the 2014 album Les yeux plus gros que le monde\, and has collaborated with artists such as Shakira (“Comme Moi”)\, Manu Dibango\, and Amadou & Mariam. He’s joined by Laurent Voulzy\, one of the most successful and critically acclaimed composers in contemporary French pop who has only become more prolific with age. Often working in tandem with longtime collaborator Alain Souchon\, Voulzy is known for an obsessive attention to detail in the studio\, crafting sophisticated melodies and rich arrangements. Also featured\, Legends of the 80’s\, a group of some of the most legendary French artists of the ‘80s. They’ve been touring as a unit for more than two decades\, sharing nostalgia and a love of one of France’s most popular eras in music. Finally\, Michel Polnareff\, the enigmatic French singer and composer best known for his 1966 hits “La Poupée qui fait non” and “Love Me\, Please Love Me\,” who has found success writing pop hits\, film scores\, and music for the stage.

SUMMARY:De La Soul / Pete Rock
DESCRIPTION:At the dawn of the ‘90s\, when the most popular hip-hop was neck-deep in intimidating street tales\, New Yorkers De La Soul offered an alternate take\, striving for peace and harmony with creative rhyme styles on their critically acclaimed debut 3 Feet High and Rising. Prince Paul’s heavily sample-based production style and inventive skits remain massively influential\, even as hip-hop aesthetics have shifted from the jazz\, soul\, and classic R&B sounds he drew from. The group continued to evolve\, leaving behind the flowery aesthetic that mistakenly branded them as “hippies” for a darker tone on records like De La Soul is Dead and Buhloone Mindstate. Though this current lineup is without Trugoy the Dove—who passed in 2023—the group has experienced a resurgence of interest with new 2025 release Cabin in the Sky. They’re joined by Bronx legend Pete Rock\, producer and occasional MC best known for his collaborations with CL Smooth (“They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)”) and his production work on classic albums by Nas\, AZ\, Rakim\, and his cousin Heavy D. Widely considered one of the most renowned hip-hop producers of the ‘90s\, his hazy\, jazz-centric sample style is both distinctive and widely influential. His recent studio collaboration with Common\, The Auditorium Vol. 1\, earned him a GRAMMY nomination last year.
