1993 Culture
Rap Goes Platinum — The Year Hip Hop Took Over
The Concept
One Year. One Night. Pure 90s.
Every last Thursday of the month, we travel back to a different year of the 90s. The music is locked to that year only — no skipping ahead, no going back. Pure year-specific Hip Hop & R&B from start to finish.
Dress the era, step into The Infamous Speakeasy in Long Island City, and let the music take you back. Runway at 9:15 PM — crowd votes for Best Dressed Time Traveler of the featured year. Winner gets crowned champion with a goodie bag and VIP access next month.
Hosted by Xavier "X" Marzan. This is more than a party — it's a time machine.
