Ep.5 | New Jack Thriller City

With Dru Hill - SisQo, Jazz, Nokio, Woody, Tao, Scola, & Black

On Friday, January 27th, Baltimore’s Dru Hill (@druhill4real) headlined the newly opened Racket (@racketnewyork) a stop on their tour in honor of their 25th anniversary. Any past and current member of the group was invited to participate and the show felt like a giant singalong. Swipe through for a few pics from the night and check out the full set now on @bowerypresents’ The House List (link in profile). Final image in this post is of a lucky fan who caught Sisqó’s jacket after he threw it into the audience after the final song (which was “The Thong Song,” naturally). #druhill #25thanniversary #racket #racketnewyork #livemusic #livemusicphotography #concert #concertphotography #reunion #sisqo #sisqó #smoke #black #nokio #scola #jazz #tao #woody #sliquejayadams https://www.instagram.com/p/CoDJo_9OLVK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The end of Jon B’s Cool Relax, the song, leading into Are U Still Down? ft. 2Pac is a chef’s kiss.
