Festival season is officially upon us, with Coachella really kicking things off this past weekend with OutKast as headliners. Today we've found out the headliners for the Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival, and New York native Raekwon has been tapped as has Jay Electronica, who recently came out of hiding with a "We Made It (Freestyle)."

The announcement was made last night at Brooklyn Bodega, and this is a pretty important year for the BK Hip-Hop Festival as it marks their ten year anniversary. In addition to Rae and Jay, you can expect the Pro Era crew including Joey Bada$$ and CJ Fly to take the stage.

The festival happens July 9th until the 14th, and you can catch the headliners on the 12th.

Raekwon is currently working on his upcoming solo album Fly International Luxurious Art, and he dropped off something to hold fans over last week, "The Living Room." Jay Electronica continues to remain a mystery to most of us, but he most recently appeared on a track titled "Minutes of Moog."
