Join us for a listening party and talk back honoring Flavor Flav, founding member (alongside Chuck D) of Public Enemy—one of the most influential groups in hip-hop history. The group has earned six Grammy Award nominations and has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  
   
 Come cold Lamp' with Flavor, vibe, connect, and celebrate the legacy of hip-hop culture in a laid-back, community-centered space.

\* “Cold Lampin’” is a hip-hop slang term meaning to relax, hang out, or chill—popularized by Flavor Flav in Public Enemy’s 1988 track “Cold Lampin’ with Flavor.” The phrase evokes a relaxed, confident, and effortlessly cool state of being.
