METHOD MAN & REDMAN: LEGENDS UNLEASHED
Two of hip-hop’s rawest, realest, and most iconic voices are back on stage—Method Man & Redman. You know the names. You know the legacy. One’s a Wu-Tang OG, the other’s the Funk Doctor Spock. Together, they dropped classics like How High and Blackout!—and changed the game with gritty bars, sharp wit, and off-the-wall chemistry no duo’s touched since.
From Yo! MTV Raps freestyle battles to starring in the ultimate stoner cult film How High, Meth and Red have always brought the energy, the comedy, and the bars. This isn’t just nostalgia—it’s a live reminder that hip-hop’s golden age never died.
Their roots run deep in the game—linking up with Tupac “2Pac” Shakur in the studio to record Got My Mind Made Up for All Eyez on Me, and later trading verses on Biggie’s Rap Phenomenon from the posthumous album Born Again. And through it all, they’ve stayed loyal to Def Jam, spitting fire as solo artists and as a duo.
Whether you’re a diehard Wu-Tang disciple, a Def Squad day-one, or just someone who’s memorized the 36 Chambers front to back—this night’s for you
XZIBIT
Xzibit is an American rapper, actor, television presenter, radio personality, and record executive. He began his musical career in 1992, and signed with Loud Records, an imprint of RCA Records to release his debut studio album, At the Speed of Life (1996). The album saw positive critical reception, modestly entered the Billboard 200, and spawned the single “Paparazzi,” which peaked at number 83 on the Billboard Hot 100. His second album, 40 Dayz & 40 Nightz (1998) was met with similar reception and spawned the single “What U See Is What U Get.”
His success caught the attention of rapper Dr. Dre, who served as the executive producer for Xzibit’s next two albums; his third, Restless (2000) was further commercially-oriented and peaked at number twelve on the Billboard 200. He then departed Loud Records in favor of Columbia Records for the release of his fourth album Man vs. Machine (2002), which peaked at number three on the chart. Both albums were co-released by Xzibit’s own label, Open Bar Entertainment. His next albums, Weapons of Mass Destruction (2004) and Full Circle (2006) preceded a brief public hiatus. He returned for the release of his seventh studio album, Napalm (2012). Since 2013, he performs as a member of the hip-hop supergroup Serial Killers.
Xzibit has also gained fame as an actor and presenter, having hosted the reality television program Pimp My Ride during the 2000s. In his acting career, he played Shyne Johnson in the television series Empire. He has also starred in the films Gridiron Gang (2006), The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008), Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (2009), and Sun Dogs (2017).
IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE
Immortal Technique stands as a towering figure in underground hip-hop—a Peruvian-born, Harlem-raised artist who transformed from prison poet to battle rap dominator. His revolutionary lyrics and unapologetic political stance emerged boldly in a post-9/11 world, creating one of the most pirated independent albums while returning hip-hop to its politically charged roots. His authentic voice and complex lyricism have earned him appearances on major platforms from Joe Rogan to CNN, and speaking engagements at prestigious universities including Harvard and Columbia.
Beyond his musical prowess, Immortal Technique embodies true humanitarian action, consistently backing his words with tangible impact. He’s built an orphanage in Afghanistan, assisted with Haiti’s earthquake recovery, provided aid at the Mexican border, and launched “The Rebel Army Runs” charity during the pandemic to support vulnerable elders. His collaborative efforts with iconic activists and thinkers—from original Black Panther Party members to Dr. Cornel West and Harry Belafonte—demonstrate his commitment to creating real-world change.
Now, fans have the rare opportunity to witness Immortal Technique as he prepares to release his highly-anticipated fifth studio album, “The Middle Passage.” This new work delves fearlessly into urgent contemporary issues—modern slavery, global totalitarianism, corporate greed, and the mental health crisis—continuing his legacy of challenging listeners to confront uncomfortable truths. Experience not just a concert, but a powerful convergence of artistry and activism from an artist who has dedicated his life to amplifying voices from the margins and inspiring genuine social transformation.
