Some of hip-hop’s most exciting voices head to Herbert Von King park in Bed-Stuy, led by the Zambian-born poet, rapper, and songwriter Sampa Tembo, better known as Sampa the Great. Twice the recipient of the Australian Music Prize (for 2017’s Birds and the BEE9 and 2019’s The Return), Sampa’s music explores themes of identity and heritage, dissolving the very concept of genre through a global perspective. She’s joined by the Alabama rapper Pink Siifu, another artist unbound by the concept of genre, whose music is rooted in poetic expression but prioritizes movement and feel above most everything else. The unpredictable artist is also incredibly prolific: he’s released a total of 46 EPs, albums, and mixtapes over the past decade.
