Being childhood friends, their organic relationships are vital in and out of the booth.

Predominantly a Hip-Hop collective, World’s Fair successfully integrates essential lyrical ability with raw, yet harmonious rhythm; A combination of nostalgic lyricism with new school flavor, creating a coined, “futuristic boom-bap,” as well as other styles; all the while aiming to staple their presence with the new-wave of artists coming out of New York City.
Infamous for their spirited live shows, the members of World’s Fair value quality in performance. Humorous and energetic, the collective aims to give crowds an unforgettable experience (and sometimes presents) every time they hit the stage. They’ve performed at concerts, showcases and benefit shows at many popular NYC venues in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island, as well as New Jersey, the DMV area, Chicago, and California.

In the case of World’s Fair, they aim to do so for the betterment of music and Hip-Hop culture, using their individual strengths to impact the game forcefully and positively. Four separate entities that come together and bring unity back to New York City.
