THE BUZZ! Talk about putting a spin on something iconic.
Get ready for one of Hip Hop’s most influential albums, Illmatic, like you’ve never heard it before. That’s because this summer Nas is teaming up with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra for a once in a lifetime concert. One that will bring his legendary album to life with a full on live symphonic twist. Imagine “N.Y. State of Mind” backed by strings, horns, and a full orchestra, nice! Nas with over 30 years in the game, 14 studio albums, a Grammy, and still making music, will be performing every song from the Illmatic album with full live orchestral arrangements of every track, conducted by the legendary Steven Reineke. Get ready for that performance – July 23rd at the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall. Source: WBAL
