BHF'12 Official Kickstarter 'Raffle'

1. The honor of introducing Busta Rhymes on the Final Day (Sat. 7/14). Do we really need to sell this one to you? We are talking an unparalleled experience for a Hip-Hop head- screaming #Wooha to a crowd of 20,000+ fans before the Dungeon Dragon himself tears down the stage.

2. Backstage Passes (2) for Final Day. This is not for sale anywhere but in association with Kickstarter. Not only do you get to hang with our staff and wonderful artists but there would be plenty of food, drink and swag for all. This one is a killer.

3. BHF '12 Title Belt. Our 2012 "Champion of The People" will be given the title belt to have and to hold all Festival week. Be the envy of Brooklyn as you walk around like Floyd Mayweather.

4. VIP Partygoer Package. Passes (2) to the invite-only VIP Mixer during Festival week. Come party with staff, media, artists on Wed. 7/11.

Since you have already given, no worries you can re-enter by increasing your donation by as little as a $1.

We are going to be picking these winners up until the deadline (10pm EST) so check your email/Facebook/Twitter all day to see if you are a winner.

These premiums are available nowhere else. Please forward this to a friend, fellow Hip-Hop fan, lover of Brooklyn or various cool guy/gal.

Time is running out. Get involved now.
