In the chronicles of hip-hop, Bronx icon Pete Rock is the realest of the real, a bastion of the true school. Of his far-reaching list of heavyweight accomplishments as DJ, producer and rapper, one of the most defining is his role in championing jazz rap in the 1990s.
Fitting then that the hip-hop great will be featured in the city’s most proper jazz room for two shows in one night. Come see an intimate engagement with a living legend who traces the direct lineage of Black excellence from jazz to rap with devotion and brilliance.
7 and 9:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 20, Judson’s Live, drphillipscenter.org, $52.81-$88.21.
