About this event
Hot 97's Funk Flex throws his annual birthday party in Central Park, this year an R&B and club-classics edition with Jon B, Fonda Rae, Taana Gardner, Strafe and Dres from Black Sheep, plus DJ M U. Less a concert than a New York block party with an unusually deep record collection behind it.
