Where Street Culture Comes To Life
BRED brings you things that you wouldn’t expect to see at regular music festival (because, guess what? They’re not). I’m talking high-energy dance-offs, fierce basketball showdowns, streetwear pop-ups with the hottest drops, insane gaming zones, rooftop parties, and food that’ll blow your mind. This year, the festival is taking it back to the streets, where hip hop and street culture were born, making sure every beat, every rhyme, and every move feels authentic and electric.
A Special Drop – ‘Hena’
One of the biggest moments for BRED so far? The exclusive release of ‘Hena’, an all-star track featuring some of the region’s dopest hip hop artists. The collaboration? Absolute fire: The Synaptik – This Palestinian-Jordanian rapper is reshaping Arabic rap, spitting bars that hit deep on mental health, migration, and social struggles. Asayel – A Saudi powerhouse mixing rap, R&B, and pop into a sound that’s pure magic, all while repping her cultural roots. Karim Osama – Egypt’s rising rap king, blending electro beats, hip hop, and Egyptian pop into an addictive fusion!
The Star-Studded Lineup
Last year, Metro Boomin’, Offset, Don Toliver, and Ty Dolla $ign had us losing our minds. This year? The festival is bringing the heat again, and while more names are coming, here’s what’s locked in so far:
- Cairokee – April 24
- Adonis – April 24
- Nas – April 25
- PARTYNEXTDOOR – April 26
