Hear a discussion led by Pierce Freelon, university professor and founder of Blackademics.org, about North Carolina’s musical roots and influence on hip-hop and rap culture. The program includes special performances by local artist The Beast and others. The Durham-based quartet fearlessly navigates worlds of hip-hop and jazz with compelling lyrics and progressive compositions. Join us at the NC Museum of History on January 27th from 7 – 9pm for this program. Ticket prices are $11 in advance and $15 at the door. For advanced tickets, visit www.ncmuseumofhistory.org.
