The Craft returns to Brooklyn for its fourth installment, bringing together some of hip-hop's most respected lyricists for an evening built around artistry, authenticity, and community.
Taking place at Littlefield in Gowanus on the first day of Summer 2026, The Craft 4 will feature performances from Immortal Technique, Vel Nine, Substantial, and Juggernaut War Party. The event continues the series' mission of creating a thoughtfully curated experience where lyricism takes center stage.
Founded by Mic King and LR Blitzkrieg, and later joined by fellow MCMI (formerly The Plague) members Tonedeff and PackFM, The Craft was designed as an alternative to the typical rap show. Every detail—from artist selection to venue atmosphere to custom-crafted cocktails—is carefully considered to create an experience that honors hip-hop culture at its highest level.
“This is not a showcase,” says Mic King. “This is for people who care about bars, presence, and the craft itself.”
Littlefield's intimate setting allows audiences to connect with artists in a way that larger venues often cannot. Fans can experience every verse, every beat, and every moment up close while enjoying signature cocktails created specifically for the night's performers.
Since its inception, The Craft has hosted an impressive roster of artists, including Beanie Sigel, Grafh, ONYX, Smif-N-Wessun, 38 Spesh, and Thirstin Howl the 3rd. A hallmark of the series is its collaboration with Littlefield's mixologists, who create artist-inspired cocktails such as the tequila-based Grafhitti Rock and the fan-favorite Mr. Mecczal.
Mic King, a Philadelphia native and Founder and CEO of iPullRank, brings the same level of precision and intentionality that defines his professional career to The Craft. The result is a live music experience that prioritizes quality sound, seamless production, and meaningful engagement between artists and audiences.
As hip-hop continues to evolve, The Craft remains committed to celebrating the elements that made the culture powerful in the first place: exceptional lyricism, genuine connection, and respect for the art form.
