BK warehouse party w/ ?uestlove
::BUILTY BY MEANRED
On Martin Luther King Jr weekend, we're joining forces with the man behind the ?uestion mark to throw down a serious BK warehouse party.
Drummer/Producer/DJ Ahmir Thompson (aka ?uestlove) is a living link between the digital science of modern hip-hop and the flesh-and-blood textures of vintage R&B. The son a famous 50's Doo Wop singer, He co-founded Grammy award winning group The Roots, universally hailed as one of the most sonically inventive hip-hop acts. Meanwhile, his collaborations with such artists as D'Angelo, Erykah Badu, Al Green and Common cemented his role as a worldwide music icon.But we love him best behind the turntables, when he crossfades his impeccable taste with timeless jams. If you want to get up close and personal with the man who packs stadiums, be sure to come through. We're looking forward to a long night of sweaty, soulful, unstoppable music -- ?uestlove's special DJ set in tribute to the King.
