Decked out in classic Adidas and donning those unmistakable gold chains, Hip Hop Hooray takes you on a rhythmic journey back to the golden era of hip hop. This Dallas-based ensemble is not just a tribute band; they are the embodiment of the ’80s and ’90s vibrant hip hop culture. With their boombox blasting, they deliver a high-octane performance that captures the essence and energy of a time when hip hop was reshaping the music landscape.
Fronting the group are three powerhouse performers – each a triple threat as dancer, singer, and rapper. Flava J, with his impeccable sense of time, keeps the crew in sync; X-man, whose dance moves can outshine a disco ball, ensures the stage remains lit; and PBL (Pretty Boy Lou) brings that unmistakable swag to every line he drops. Together, they breathe life into classics that defined a generation. Think “Humpty Dance”, “You Can’t Touch This”, “Funky Cold Medina”, and “Ice, Ice Baby”. If these tracks don’t get you up and dancing, you might just need to refresh your playlist.
Providing the foundational grooves are the rhythm section known as Rhythm & Bruise. Big Daddy holds the fort with dynamic drum beats, while B-Mo-EZ proves his versatility, seamlessly transitioning between bass and guitar, ensuring that every track hits just right.
But it’s not just about the music. Hip Hop Hooray’s performance is a spectacle, a party, and a nostalgic trip down memory lane. Their playful antics, infectious energy, and audience engagement ensure that every performance feels fresh and lively.
Whether you grew up during hip hop’s heyday or discovered its classics later on, Hip Hop Hooray promises a show that’s both nostalgic and exhilarating. So, if you’re looking to relive the days when hip hop was taking over the airwaves, or just in the mood for some “Insane in the Membrane” beats, join Hip Hop Hooray and dive into the deep pool of old skool rhythms and rhymes.
