The Whitney is partnering with Mixtape to co-host a special Free Friday Night celebrating BIPOC creatives who are redefining culture. On May 9, join Derrick Adams, Kasseem “Swizz Beatz” Dean, and Dave Guy for a night of music and community. 

The evening begins with a live performance by trumpeter Dave Guy, known for his work with The Roots and Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, and accompanied by producer and The Roots member Stro Elliot. The performance will crescendo into a dance party featuring a DJ set by April Hunt with special guest Swizz Beatz.
