Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson of The Roots explained the significance of 1995 in hip-hop history, saying: "1995 was the Year It All Came Together. It was a time of incredible creativity, groundbreaking albums, and unforgettable energy. That's the story we're telling with this concert."
The Class of '95 roots itself in the legacy of The Roots Picnic, a festival Rolling Stone calls 'Hip-Hop's Greatest Festival.' Since its inception in 2007, the event has blended music and culture, attracting millions of fans with performances by artists like Pharrell, Nas, Usher, Future, and Jill Scott.
Following the sold-out success of last summer's Roots Picnic: Hip-Hop is the Love of My Life -which featured performances by Queen Latifah, Common, and Digable Planets-The Roots return to the Hollywood Bowl with a new chapter. The evening promises more than just nostalgia; it's a celebration of hip-hop's evolution and enduring impact.
Expect signature jam sessions, one-of-a-kind collaborations, and surprises that only The Roots can deliver.
