Rock The Bells Festival Partners With Rap Legend Bun B to Curate Hip Hop Food Court

Rock The Bells, the global lifestyle brand and preeminent voice for classic and timeless Hip-Hop founded by LL COOL J, today unveiled the culinary lineup for their Rock The Bells Festival, featuring offerings from Hip-Hop inspired restaurants from across the country. The Trill Mealz Food Court, curated by Hip Hop legend, Bun B, marks the first-ever Hip-Hop food court experience and will include a selection of food & beverage vendors from iconic hip-hop artists, including Nas, E-40, Jadakiss, Styles P, Ghostface Killah, Mia X and Bun B along with a handful of delicious local eateries. The entire Trill Mealz Food Court will be available for all fans in attendance at the Rock The Bells Festival presented by Procter & Gamble brands Gillette and My Black Is Beautiful on Saturday, August 6, 2022 in Queens, New York, at Forest Hills Stadium.

The Trill Mealz Food Court lineup coming to Queens includes:

Bun B’s Trill Burgers
Nas’s Sweet Chick
Mia X’s Team Whip Them Pots
E-40’s Goon With The Spoon
Jadakiss & Styles P’s Juices for Life
Ghostface Killah’s Killah Koffee

The Trill Mealz Food Court brings fans a fully immersive experience which also includes local Queens-based restaurants and NYC favorites to enjoy LL COOL J’s personal love letter to Hip-Hop through the lens of music and food. This food court helps celebrate the anniversary of Hip-Hop in the city that launched a movement and highlights how these golden-era Hip-Hop artists have transitioned into the culinary world by bridging the gap between food, beverage, and culture. These eateries will share a variety of their classic recipes and explore Hip-Hop’s expansive and rich history with food.

“Food and Hip-Hop are both forms of entertainment and self expression,” said LL COOL J. “Food has always been a theme within Hip-Hop and are uniquely connected. Hosting the Trill Mealz Food Court at the Rock The Bells Festival at Hip-Hop’s birthplace of New York City, allows us to really connect with the community and create a fully immersive way to experience Hip-Hop.”

“For the first time ever, I will be curating a hip-hop food court at Rock The Bells Festival. Something that has never happened anywhere in the face of the world,” says Bun B. “For me it’s the food now. I still make music. I still perform, but this is my passion and it still keeps me in the culture”
