NEW YORK — What started as a stay-at-home show born out of the pandemic is heading to one of the world’s premier venues.
Hip-hop veteran DJ D-Nice is ready to light up Carnegie Hall and turn it into “Club Quarantine” on Thursday — when he’ll commandeer the wheels of steel accompanied by a 28-piece orchestra for a lineup featuring rap superstars Ashanti, Jadakiss and Slick Rick, alongside Grammy-winning gospel artist Hezekiah Walker.
“I’m pretty excited about it because I know that not many people from my kind of hip hop and R&B world have played Carnegie like that,” D-Nice, whose given name is Derrick Jones, told the Daily News. “For me to be able to headline Carnegie, let me not just say play because a lot of musicians play, play Carnegie Hall but being a DJ and being able to bring my vibe to that stage is honestly probably one of the highlights of my career.”
