Horizon Foundation Sounds of the City, NJPAC’s free outdoor music series in Chambers Plaza, presents an evening of chart-topping rap with Lords of the Underground.
Newark’s own Lords of the Underground – a famed trio composed of Bruce Anthony Colston (aka DJ Lord Jazz), Dupré Kelly (DoItAll), and Al’Terik Wardrick (Mr. Funke) – first broke onto the music scene with their 1993 debut LP, Here Come the Lords. That album went platinum and turned the Lords into one of rap’s best-selling units. The group went on to sell over 5 million albums worldwide, and to release five No. 1 singles on the Billboard Rap Chart, including classics like “Psycho,” “Chief Rocka,” “Funky Child,” and “Tic Toc.”
Opening for Lords of the Underground will be DJ Sonsu and students of NJPAC’s Hip Hop Intensive. Through its extensive Arts Education programs, NJPAC is shaping the next generation of artists and arts enthusiasts. NJPAC has attracted more than 9 million visitors (including over 1.7 million children and families) since opening its doors in 1997, and nurtures meaningful and lasting relationships with each of its constituents.
The Horizon Foundation Sounds of the City concert series is made possible through a special collaboration of NJPAC, The Horizon Foundation for New Jersey and generous sponsors RWJBarnabas Health, Whole Foods Market and Tito’s Handmade Vodka.
NJPAC’s in-house restaurant, Nico Kitchen + Bar, will be open during performances.
In the event of inclement weather, scheduling advisories may be found at njpac.org.
