This festival incorporates 10 cage fights with a tattoo expo and a full-blown hip-hop festival. There will be 16 different hip-hop acts including everyone’s fantasy budtender, B-Real of Cypress Hill. In 2009, he released his first and only solo record Smoke N Mirrors. He also teamed up with Snoop Dogg in Snoop’s single “Vato.” There will also be over a dozen tattoo vendors at the event—though you might have to keep your Kat Von D jonesin‘ in check. And the main event and headlining fight is between “Officer Ismael Gonzalez and “Notorious” Rick Slaton. Good guys fighting bad buys . . . it’s what’s for dinner.
