The 5th Annual LegalizedNYC Festival
About This Event
The 5th Annual LegalizedNYC Festival at Sony Hall features Big Youth, Massive B, Ras Shiloh and the Cannabis Cup Band. The bill gathers artists whose work moves between Jamaican-rooted reggae, rocksteady, dub, ragga and pop—Big Youth’s direct lyrical delivery, Massive B’s dancehall- and riddim-inflected rock/pop approach, and Ras Shiloh’s roots-reggae tenor and spiritually conscious lyrics.
