On Sunday, June 25, 2006, the legendary rapper Jay-Z celebrated the 10th anniversary of his first album, "Reasonable Doubt, at Radio City Music Hall. This album is considered a classic, and hip hop is frequently defined as before and after this album.
To celebrate, Jay-Z chose Radio City Music Hall, which sold out in two minutes. He hired a string orchestra and brass section in addition to the Illadelphonics, run by Ahmir "?uestlove" Thompson, who is also a lead figure in the Roots. He arrived on stage in a '96 Lexus in honor of the 10 year anniversary.
The reviews have been stellar. And, the orchestra had a blast!
We are all honored to have worked with such impeccable musicians. The rehearsals and performances were a dream. The orchestra was star struck by Ahmir and his crew, Jay-Z, Beyonce, Foxy Brown, Sauce Money, and
Memphis Bleek.
