Need a nostalgic escape today? Why not travel back 35 years and enjoy some classic 80s hip hop?
Fresh Fest 2 was a sequel to 1984’s Swatch Watch New York City Fresh Fest, a concert tour final stop, that took place at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, NYC. The likes of Run-D.M.C., Whodini, Fat Boys, and John “Mr. Magic” Rivas featured and there was even an impromptu rap battle between Run-D.M.C. and Whodini during a joint press conference.
And look out for some commercials telling you to break the graffiti habit (lol) and not to drink and drive (agreed).
