BANGKOK — An inner city’s shopping mall will transform into a hip-hop town again as a Los Angeles rapper-producer headlines a hip-hop and dance music festival in August.

Brian Todd Collins, or Kid Ink, will make an appearance in Bangkok at the upcoming Famous: Urban Music Festival to  perform hits songs such as “Show Me,” “Body Language” or “F with U.”

Kid Ink will take the stage alongside Thai hip-hop group Thaitanium, Phuket-based talents Southside and rapper Young P.A. from Switzerland. Dutch duo 2Crooks, DJ Stan and Trigger from Indonesia among others will play on the decks.

Early-bird tickets are 1,300 baht and 2,300 baht. The music festival will take place Aug. 11 at Muang Thai GMM Live House, a concert hall on the eighth floor of CentralWorld.
