Arizona Freestyle Festival – Sunday, April 23rd
Fans of freestyle R&B and old-school hip-hop can't afford to miss this festival. The bill is topped by Bell Biv Devoe, Lisa Lisa, Stevie B. and House of Pain with Naughty By Nature, Arrested Development, Montell Jordan, Trinere, Debbie Deb, Chub Rock, Stacey Q., Timmy T, Nocera and the English Beat. Do the English Beat make any sense here? No. And yet, it works. Bell Biv Devoe may not necessarily qualify as freestyle, either, but why argue when they're bringing hits as huge and undeniable as "Poison," "Do Me," "The Best Things in Life are Free," "Word to the Mutha" and "When Will I See You Again?" to the party?
