Yaaaaassssss, it’s true!!!! For the first time ever, the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAS) is coming to Brooklyn, New York!!!!! The annual awards show will take place on Sunday, August 25 at the new Barclays Center and represents the first major annual awards show to take place in BK — home of Biggie and Jay.

This years’s show will mark the 30th anniversary of the popular, celebrity event. Brooklyn and New York City has played home to some of the most well-known Caribbean music superstars including Nicki Minaj, Fabolous, and, of course Biggie Smalls! Given that the event is being held right before the Annual West Indian Day parade, I’m sure we can expect a heavy Caribbean presence in and around this event. And you know the RCS team will be shelling down di place too!

“From hip-hop to hipsters, Jay- Z to MGMT, Brooklyn musicians have a long history of dominating the ‘spotlight’ on MTV. Brooklyn is a cultural Mecca — the hippest, coolest place for young people across the country, and has played a crucial role in the careers of some of 2013’s biggest bands, like Fun. and the Lumineers,” said Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz in a statement.

“Now, it is only fitting that the first time Brooklyn will ever host a major awards show, we are welcoming the most exciting and talked about spectacle in the music industry … I’m so thrilled that I’ll probably get ‘no sleep till Brooklyn’ hosts the VMAs!”
