Montell Jordan, Biz Markie, Big Daddy Kane and Rob Base will perform at Throwback Thursday Live presented by 106.5 The Beat, Mix 98.1, and Q94 at the SERVPRO of Richmond Pavilion on August 15th. Tickets are now on sale at www.innsbrookafterhours.com.

The Billboard Top Ten songs chart for 1995 contains the following names: Coolio, TLC, Seal, Boyz II Men, Mariah Carey, Madonna, and a man named Montell Jordan. “This Is How We Do It” was a breakout new jack-swing song that topped the Hot 100 for seven weeks and R&B charts for eight. Jordan, tall and handsome with a silky – smooth voice, established himself as a powerful presence in music, brimming with talent, savvy, and charm. Over his more than twenty year career in music, Jordan has released seven studio albums, fourteen singles, and is a Grammy-nominated artist selling more than 10 million records worldwide.

Biz Markie is a rapper, beatboxer, DJ, actor, and comedian best known for his 1989 single “Just a Friend,” which was a top 40 hit in several different countries and is certified platinum. He has released five studio albums in his career spanning over thirty years.

Big Daddy Kane is a Brooklyn, New York M.C. who undisputedly defined the term “lyricist” in the world of hip-hop. Along with the lyrical ingenuity he brought to the genre, he also introduced innovative live performances as well. Kane was the first rapper to ever hold not one but two sold-out shows at the world famous Apollo Theater for women only. These live performances, which consisted of theatrics, choreography and tailored costumes proved that Big Daddy Kane was not only an M.C., he was a full entertainer. Kane revolutionized hip-hop fashion and the way hip-hop shows were performed.

Rob Base hails from Harlem New York. He first began performing with various groups such as Sure Shot Seven, Cosmic 3 MC’s, Freedom Force, and Disco Enforcers. He and partner DJ EZ Rock, (whom he has known since the 4th grade) would eventually separate from the groups to form Rob Base and DJ EZ Rock. In 1988, Profile Records released Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock’s Debut album It Takes Two. The title track became a massive single. The single and the album were certified platinum by the RIAA on June 12, 1989 Rob Base is best known for his hit with DJ E-Z Rock “It Takes Two,” which was a top 40 hit and is certified platinum.
