With the GRAMMYs set to take place this upcoming Sunday, the Recording Academy and CBS announced today an immersive three-day pop-up experience called GRAMMY House: Where the Stars Align, which will run from Wednesday, February 1 through Friday, February 3 in Los Angeles. Produced by Anthemic Agency, FLOOD’s parent company, the event includes an emerging artists showcase hosted by comedian Desi Banks (with performances by breakout star Stephen Sanchez, Jeleel, Lakeyah, and more), a producer panel and jam session (featuring London on Da Track, ATL Jacob, and Murda Beatz, among others), and the second annual #GRAMMYsNextGen party.
Additionally, the destination includes a special exhibition dubbed “Universe of Hip-Hop,” celebrating 50 years of hip-hop music, art, and culture, through the lenses of photographers who were on the scene from the ’70s to present day, including Janette Beckman, Danny Clinch, Michael Lavine, B+ (Brian Cross), Greg Noire, and Gunner Stahl. Designed by renowned artist Cey Adams—founding Creative Director of Def Jam Recordings—the space features iconic imagery from dozens of artists ranging from legends including Run-DMC, Beastie Boys, LL Cool J, Salt-N-Pepa, Notorious B.I.G., and Tupac to contemporary stars like Kendrick Lamar, Cardi B, Tyler, the Creator, Megan Thee Stallion, and 21 Savage. Hip-hop records from Warner Music Group's catalog will also be featured prominently.
In addition to his photos on display, photographer Gunner Stahl will be appearing for a special DJ set at the #GRAMMYsNextGen party on Friday.
