"We are proud to announce that Ghostface has been added to Saturday's bill," the festival's website proclaimed Monday. "This original member of the mighty Wu-Tang Clan has been blowing up the charts (and your radio) with his hot new Fishscale LP." Ghost joins Dead Prez, Rhymefest and Lady Sovereign among the hip-hop contributors to the two-day event, which drew 30,000 people last year. The Intonation Music Festival will take place in Chicago's Union Park on June 24-25. Two-day passes are $35 and one-day passes are $20. Both include a subscription to Rolling Stone magazine. Meanwhile, Ghostface is making some noise thanks to comments he made to Prefix magazine. When asked if "New York is jealous it lost the hip-hop crown" to the south, Ghost replied with a big F.U.N.Y. "New York lost the crown because the New York deejays gave the crown away for some money," Ghostface told Prefix. "Right now, I say f--- New York... I don't know -- for some reason we started to get really soft. And now we act like we want that real hip-hop back... we trying to bring it back but we can't even play that real hip-hop on the radio."
