FLOW Presents
The 2K Sports Bounce Tour Featuring
A Tribe Called Quest
R.E.M.G. presents the long awaited return of A Tribe Called Quest, live at the Kool Haus.
Considered by many to be one of the most influential hip-hop groups of the 90's, A Tribe Called Quest is comprised of Q-Tip, Phife Dawg, and DJ Ali Shaheed Muhammad. Together they began the type of hip-hop that provided an alternative to gangster rap which was the focal point of the hip-hop industry at that time, and created songs that addressed issues pertinent to their community. This new type of hip hop was coined "jazz-rap" due to its influence from jazz music with hip-hop beats mixed in.
A Tribe Called Quest made their debut in 1989 when they released their first album People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm. This album launched the group into quick success with popular songs like "Can I Kick It?" and "Bonita Applebum". Following up from their initial success, A Tribe Called Quest released their second album in 1991, The Low End Theory. This album went platinum and had two tracks (Scenario and Check the Rhime) reach the Top 10 on North American billboards. Their third album, Midnight Marauders, was A Tribe Called Quest's largest commercial success and included the hit single "Award Tour". While touring their fourth album, The Love Movement, A Tribe Called Quest announced that they would be breaking up. Each of the group member has since pursued solo careers. The most successful being Q-Tip who went on to release his solo album Amplified which included the popular single "Vivrant Thing".
In 2004 A Tribe Called Quest reunited to play a limited number of live concerts and now they are back for a fall tour. For the first time since 1996's Up In Smoke Tour, A Tribe Called Quest is back for this highly anticipated show in Toronto. Don't miss your chance to see this legendary group.
