Following in the footsteps of other Hip-Hop luminaries like DJ Premier, Q-Tip and ?uestlove, Rae will divulge with Rosenberg, in front of a live audience, on his life in hip-hop and the stories behind some of his most famed songs. Jazz flavored band The Cypher will also be performing their instrumental spin on The Chef’s music throughout the night.
