Yes indeed, Guerilla Union's traveling summer hip-hop festival has once again topped itself. I mean, look at this lineup!
The big news is, of course, the reunion of the beloved West Coast troupe the Pharcyde and the return of recently reunited icons A Tribe Called Quest. Both Tribe and the Pharcyde will hit each and every stop on this year's Rock the Bells, where they'll be joined by Nas, the mighty Mos Def, up-and-comers Kidz in the Hall, Wale, Jay Electronica, and B.O.B., and the always entertaining Murs.
Rocking the occasional Bell along with 'em are some other names you might recognize: De La Soul, Rakim, Ghostface & Raekwon, Method Man & Redman, Spank Rock, Kid Sister, the Cool Kids, Flosstradamus, Santogold, Dead Prez, and Immortal Technique.

They're busy that weekend. [MORE...]
