Grandmaster Flash at Gorilla

On Saturday the 2nd of August, Grandmaster Flash will be performing at Gorilla. Heralded as the godfather of turntablism, Grandmaster Flash was one of the earliest visionaries to begin scratching records, developing the technique of beat juggling to extend the breaks on funk and soul records. His work with the Furious Five quickly became the stuff of legend, as the hip hop posse became widely regarded as New York’s number one rap group. Their legendary single, “The Message” was released in 1982 and was later named the greatest hip-hop song of all time by Rolling Stone.
 
The last remaining tickets are available from Gorilla.
