Boston Urban Music Festival
Since 2010, the Boston Urban Music Festival (BUMF) has been host to some of the brightest talent New England has to offer in hip-hop, R&B, funk, and soul. This year, BUMF will feature legendary hip-hop artist Talib Kweli as the headliner and is expanding with a pre-party at Good Life in Boston on August 23, which will feature The Arcitype and Mr. Fritz. They're looking to book two Sonicbids artists – one for the festival at City Hall Plaza, and one for the pre-party.
