The Rock the Bells festival will feature a mixture of older and newer rap acts including Jurassic 5, Talib Kweli, Common and Tyler, The Creator. But the most shocking acts in the line-up will be the reincarnation of Wu-Tang MC Ol' Dirty Bastard and late N.W.A. member Eazy-E.
The late rappers hologram performance, featuring Ol’ Dirty Bastard with the Wu-Tang clan and Eazy-E with Bone Thugs-N-Harmony comes after Tupac Shakur’s at Coachella last year.
MTV News notes their resurrection has been approved by Tomica Wright, Eazy-E’s widow and Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s mother, Cherry Jones.
AllHipHop, who first reported the news, reports that ODB has only been to the festival once and Eazy-E has never performed there. ODB died about 10 years ago and Eazy died in 1995.
The festival this year marks their 10th anniversary of the event. Others who will perform will be Big Krit, Black Hippy, Bodega Bamz, Brother Ali, Chase and Status, Curren$y, Danny Brown, Dilated Peoples, Dizzy Wright, Dom Kenney, E-40 and Too Short, Earl Sweatshirt, Flatbush Zombies, Hit-Boy, Hopsin, Immortal Technique, Jhene Aiko, Juicy J, Lecrae, Mimosa, Prof, Show Tha Product, Supernatural and Tech N9ne.
