Bass Island

Bass Island was an arts and music event hosted by Bass Nectar at Governors Island in New York City. Opening acts included Lupe Fiasco, Z-Trip, and Prefuse 73.
The New York Timess Jon Pareles wrote of Fiasco's set, "[He] performed with a rock band that was best when it set aside its rock arrangements, with busy guitars that got in the way of his voice, for the more basic job of hip-hop rhythm section. That left space for his thoughtful rhymes, which grapple with stardom, urban struggles and sometimes apocalyptic visions."Pareles, Jon (August 14, 2011). "When the Bass Is Like a Conqueror, Crushing the Guitars and Words". The New York Times.
