HOUSTON – The Gentleman Jack Art, Beats + Lyrics is the most significant tour of its kind that combines urban art, live music and the original themes of hip-hop culture, including the arts of graffiti, DJ, MC, and breakdancing.
“The partnership with Gentleman Jack has helped usher a new focus on culture, art, and music within our community,” says event founder and producer Jabari Graham.
Among the entertainers scheduled to perform at Art, Beats + Lyrics is A Tribe Called Quest, the hip-hop group featured in the documentary film “Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest.”
A Tribe Called Quest founding member Phife Dawg visited “FOX 26 Morning News Extra” and described his role in Art, Beats + Lyrics. He said the group has not performed since August 2010, but members have been appearing at film festivals including Tribeca in support of the documentary movie.
