SLICK RICK
Red Bull Music Academy is taking us on a musical Hip Hop tour through the five borough’s of New York City. Five Out Of Five is part of RBMA's world tour and celebrates New York City itself and the genre of music that originated here, Hip Hop. Declaring rap as one of the most influential cultural movements of our time. Over the course of five days, five classic albums representing each of the five boroughs are revisited. Free panel discussions held in each borough followed by ticketed performances where the artists re-create their seminal works. Bridging the gap from old to new school. The five albums covered are: ‘The Infamous’ by Mobb Deep (1995), Slick Rick's ‘The Great Adventures Of Slick Rick’ (1988), Wu Tang Clans' ‘Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)’ (1993), Black Moon’s ‘Enta Da Stage’ (1993), and Dipset’s ‘Diplomatic Immunity’ (2003). On Sunday September 25, Mobb Deep Kicked-off the series at Webster Hall. Yesterday the Paradise Theater in the Bronx hosted Slick Rick and D-Nice to commemorate ‘The Great Adventures Of Slick Rick’.
Born and raised in Jersey, Steve Powers knew at a young age that he wanted to pursue the entertainment and music culture that the Big Apple had to offer. In college, Steve's aspirations became a reality, as he quickly became the go-to emcee for spring break Acapulco. Today, Steve is one of the most sought after DJ's in the country, performing at the hottest nightclubs in NYC and all over the nation. His music defies the boundaries of any genre or style, which is perhaps why superstars such as Rihanna, Derek Jeter and Leonardo DiCaprio have enjoyed his performances. We were lucky enough to sit down with the man whose incredible energy is able to get anyone on the dance floor.
