Do you want to know when you’ve blown up? How about when Twitch is taking over your entire event and broadcasting it to the masses? The Afropunk Brooklyn 2022 festival is reaching the masses when The Roots and Burna Boy take over next month.

Twitch is live-streaming the Afropunk Brooklyn 2022 festival

The two-day show is slated to go down September 10 and 11 in Commodore Barry Park and will once again have the livestream service fully rocking with it. It will be Afropunk’s first event back in Broooooooklyn since 2019.

The Twitch broadcast for AFROPUNK Brooklyn will feature performances by artists including The Roots, Burna Boy, and Isaiah Rashad, as well as exclusive interviews and other behind-the-scenes content from the festival grounds. Fans tuning in virtually will be able to interact with artists in real time and participate in AFROPUNK's discussion panels. In addition to live music, AFROPUNK Brooklyn offers several segments highlighting the unique and distinctive elements that define AFROPUNK including roundups of fashion, hair, beauty and art. Visit https://www.twitch.tv/afropunk to watch the stream, and stay tuned for the full livestream schedule.

FX’s Atlanta will sponsor the exclusive livestream on Twitch, and is presenting a custom “Black Excellence Is” segment that will profile the AFROPUNK community - from artists to in-person attendees to festival staff - on their definition of Black Excellence. Twitch viewers can tune into the series during a custom segment within the AFROPUNK livestreams on Twitch. FX's Atlanta’s fourth and final season premieres on Thursday, September 15 at 10pm ET/PT on FX and streaming the next day on Hulu.

And it’s way bigger than just a few music heavyweights. Lyrical artists like Freddie Gibbs and Earl Sweatshirt plus Tierra Whack are set to take over the September two-day event.

Beyond the headliners, AFROPUNK Brooklyn brings a group of game-changing artists looking to make a statement at AFROPUNK. Notable big names on the lineup include Lucky Daye, Freddie Gibbs, Tierra Whack, and Earl Sweatshirt, who performs at his first AFROPUNK since reuniting with Tyler, The Creator and Syd at AFROPUNK 2016.

Prior to the festival, AFROPUNK will host two pre-shows on Twitch. Titled “HELLLOOO BROOKLYN!!!!,” the pre-shows will provide an inside look and first impression of what’s in store for AFROPUNK Brooklyn 2022. Hosted by Diana Doowop, Chozan Behn, and Aaron Sanford, and with live music by Chozan Behn and Thunderous Knight, the two “HELLLOOO BROOKLYN!!!!” episodes will offer exclusive announcements, interactive elements, giveaways, and much more. Tune into the first episode tonight (8/18) at 4:30pm PT/7:30pm ET, and once again on 8/25 at the same time, to join AFROPUNK on the road to Brooklyn.

After hosting events in Miami, Atlanta, Minneapolis, Bahia, and Johannesburg in recent years, and an event in Minneapolis this weekend, AFROPUNK feels great to be home. With AFROPUNK 2022, the global brand seeks to remind New York and the wider world why it's one of the most vital and vibrant cultural events on the calendar.

'Bust Down' stars Langston Kerman and Chris Redd talk Freddie Gibbs, new series and more (Exclusive)

We’re officially 48 hours away from ‘Bust Down’ premiering to the masses on Peacock and with as much appreciation as I personally have for humor here both in my real life and here on Attack The Culture, it was only right to connect with legendary funnymen Langston Kerman and Chris Redd to dish on their new series.

We’re officially 48 hours away from ‘Bust Down’ premiering to the masses on Peacock and with as much appreciation as I personally have for humor here both in my real life and here on Attack The Culture, it was only right to connect with legendary funnymen Langston Kerman and Chris Redd to dish on their new series.

From talking about having hip-hop heavyweight Freddie Gibbs co-star on the series with them to how the show evolved from its initial creation to reach the masses this Thursday, March 10 - the conversation hits hard.

Check out a few key moments from the discussion and keep scrolling to check out the full chop up session.

Did you have any idea Freddie Gibbs would deliver the way he delivered - granted the casino is based in Gary, Indiana, his home base, but what he brought to the show especially with the pressure of being around four, legendary comic stand-up legends like yourself, how crazy?

Langston: I would say Freddie showed up in a way that nobody could have anticipated. Maybe even Freddie, I think he destroyed the role. I think he embodied Chauncey better than anyone could have. So we’re super grateful that he took the time to do it.

Chris: 100 percent. He was just like a ball to play off of. We have a bunch of moments where we go head to head. I think everybody kind of does, especially him and Langston. But just going head to head on some improv shit, effortless. The man is hilarious and some of the things he does, throughout the series, it’s just mad funny. You kind of forget you’re watching one of the best rappers and you’re just watching Freddie Gibbs kill it.

I saw some interviews with you guys obviously breaking down what ‘Bust Down’ is all about and I know there was an original, before it was ‘Bust Down’ it was ‘All 4 One’ - and then scrap that and it turns into ‘Bust Down.’ We’ll start with you Chris, what was the evolution like? What did you maybe take away to turn it into ‘Bust Down’ or did everything get scrapped from what ‘Bust Down’ is today?

Chris: It’s been an evolution. This all started from an idea that was actually really bad. [laughs] It was me getting my three very talented friends behind the idea that we should remake this horrid idea and in the journey of it all, we found ‘Bust Down’ and what ‘Bust Down’ is. I think we were all creativity circling around what it ended up being but it just took the journey. If you had asked us in the middle of it, it would have been like, ‘They’re fucking with us, man.’ But when it comes down to it, we needed all that time for it to become what it is.

It’s just a perfect version. It’s very rare you write something and it comes out as good or even better than what you created it being and it’s just a blessing.

Langston: I think that’s absolutely correct. This project has had about four or five different homes at this point which meant that at some point ‘All 4 One’ seemed like the correct thing and thank God whoever was responsible for it turned it down because it was a very bad show that we were just trying to make and now I’m proud of what we landed on.

Chris: And I’m really glad we ditched the UPN name.

Langston: ‘All 4 One’ is a UPN show. [laughs] Our original name was going to be called ‘Eve.’ [laughs]

Chris: [laughs]

Check out the full Langston Kerman and Chris Redd interview talking about ‘Bust Down’ and playfully speaking on the light skin struggle.
