August 18: DJ Premier vs Pete Rock | Red Hook Park & Rec Center | FREE!
Ask any hip-hop fan to name the genre’s most influential producers and DJ Premier and Pete Rock will both inevitably crop up. The duo’s cumulative work, at its apex in the ‘90s but still relevant today, has yielded many of hip-hop’s most unforgettable anthems. While thestyles may be different—Premier brought heavier drums and sample-heavy hooks while Rock favored a more jazz-friendly vibe in both sample choices and atmosphere—both men have long secured their spot in hip-hop history. Tonight brings that rare opportunity to see both legends in the same spot. TICKET INFO.
