The Kennedy Center is making major moves in 2016 after the surprise turnout for Kendrick Lamar’s performance with the National Symphony Orchestra last year. Their season announcement this week named Queens rapper Q-Tip as its artistic director for hip-hop culture.
The Kennedy Center said in their press release, “Q-Tip will establish a dynamic, new program that will stretch across all disciplines, bringing the historic roots, contemporary expressions, and transformative power of Hip Hop to the [Kennedy] Center and local and national audiences.” Talk about the renaissance!
Our bodies are ready!
