Questlove Will Be Hosting a Major Hip-Hop Brunch This Weekend in Dallas.
Hip-hop is younger than rock by two decades, and the date of its exact birth is far easier to pinpoint. It happened on Aug. 11, 1973, when DJ Kool Herc held his famous birthday party in the recreation room of an apartment building in the Bronx.
Rizzi and Biggers promise to deliver a projection-mapped 3D environment that gives attendees the stories and imagery of the songs. Think Frida ]-Kahlo-immersive-art meets the expert curation of songs by Questlove with the DSO all in one. The collaboration has been in the making since 2021, when J. Damany Daniel, founder of event production company The Event Nerd, pitched his idea to Biggers even before Questlove was brought on.
“It influenced me being in that era of hip-hop and then going into the golden era, particularly in New York. There was so much sampling going on, where you would hear these dope beats and then find out the songs that they sampled and then get into jazz and funk. Hip-hop just opened so many different types of music genres for me.”
Rizzi is strictly a rap purist who doesn’t celebrate mediocrity. He believes hip-hop’s past is still ripe for discovery.
