CHICAGO – The Auditorium (Chicago’s landmark stage at 50 E. Ida B. Wells Drive) proudly presents Masters of the Mic in a one-night-only performance Saturday, April 18 at 8:00 PM. Celebrating 50 years of hip-hop, Masters of the Mic honors the trailblazers of the genre and the enduring impact it’s had across generations and cultures. The evening features performances from some of the biggest names in 80’s and 90’s hip-hop including Doug E. Fresh, MC Lyte, Big Daddy Kane, Treach of Naughty By Nature, & Black Sheep. Tickets, are available at www.auditoriumtheatre.org or by calling The Auditorium’s Ticket Service Center at 312.341.2300.

“The Auditorium has hosted many of the most important artists across every artistic medium,” said The Auditorium CEO Rich Regan. “We’re thrilled to welcome five pioneers of early hip-hop to our storied stage. These artists helped lay the foundation for hip-hop’s rise to pop culture dominance. This show will be a powerful celebration for longtime fans who’ve been with the genre since before the millennium, and an unforgettable history lesson for those who discovered hip-hop later.”
