It was a historic night at the Mann Center, celebrating 50 years of hip hop, culminating with a performance from the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Mann’s very first community artist.

For the first time ever, the 47-year-old venue named a Community Artist in Residence, West Philly native, rapper and entrepreneur, Chill Moody.

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the birth of hip hop, Moody helped perform "Black Metropolis," and not just with two turntables and a microphone, but with the 90-piece Philadelphia Orchestra behind him. Two cultures colliding to honor a musical genre that became an entire culture. Photographer Tony Ward continued, "It’s very special for him and it’s very special for Philadelphia."
