The driving force behind BASS, Ammo Talwar says of the event:
"The past three years have seen such a phenomenal growth in support and interest for BASS. This year is the most exciting to date, with artists from the UK, the US and even South Africa coming to celebrate The Elements. I love the fact that BASS breaks down preconceptions and allows us to demystify Hip Hop Culture for the masses. It's not just the music, it's a way of life that includes art, dance, drama and language."

The range of work and artists that are featured across the month long festival is truly indicative of the global impact and influence that Hip Hop has and shows the variety of disciplines that are included within the framework of Hip Hop. Talwar continues: "We've been exceptionally lucky with the artists that are taking part this year. We wanted to show the impact and reach of Hip Hop - from the streets of Harlem to the theatres of Birmingham, from the shanty towns of South Africa to the galleries of Nottingham - this festival is going to break new ground, showcase British Art and Street Sounds for what it really is - a unique and exciting mode of expression."
