DJ MelBoogie & Maestro Fresh Wes

They’ll be supported by a cast of talented artists including recent JUNO Award winners Tona and Adam Bomb of Naturally Born Strangers, Rochester, Ray Robinson, Kidd Danielz, and special guests. It’s unclear if Rich Kidd will be on hand to join Tona and Bomb for a NBS reunion.

Considering Mel’s older brother is the legendary Maestro Fresh Wes, it’s quite possible he’s one of the special guests expected to make an appearance.

Along with Mel herself, music will be provided her longtime friend and collaborator, JJ Rock, as well as DJ Craig Brooklyn, and Channel 9.

DJ MelBoogie’s 25 Year Industry Celebration will be hosted by Keysha Freshh of The Sorority, and Dan-e-o from the Monolith movement.
