Some of the biggest names in US hip-hop held a media conference in Auckland ahead of tomorrow night's Block Party Festival.

Bizzy Bone, from Bone Thugs-N-Harmony fame -- who is also doing his own sideshow at Neck of the Woods on Karangahape Rd in Auckland tonight -- made an early entrance, chatting and joking with reporters.

DJ Quik was next to the table, telling everyone he'd just been watching TV and was surprised at all the "profanities" allowed on New Zealand television unlike at home in the States.

Fashionably late, Twista, Havoc from Mobb Deep and a host of members from Bones Thugs-N-Harmony completed the all-star line up.

Tomorrow night's Block Party Festival is being held at ASB Showgrounds. The line-up also features local acts Times Two and PNC.
