It wasn’t just a night to celebrate 25 years of music by hip-hop legends Naughty By Nature at The Regent Theatre, but also a tribute to hip-hop artists through the decades. The trio made up of Treach, Vin Rock and DJ Kay Gee kicked off the night with one of their biggest hits, “O.P.P.,” followed by a tribute to other hip-hop artists over the past several decades, including Run-D.M.C., Biz Markie, The Beastie Boys, Tupac and The Notorious B.I.G. (aka Biggie Smalls) among others. NBN closed out the night with a packed stage filled with friends, family and fans and a pair of the group’s other fan-favorites, “Feel Me Flow” and “Hip Hop Hooray.”

Kicking off the night were the beats of up-and-comers and the homegrown talents of A.F.R.O. (All Flows Reach Out) and twin sisters Cam & China.
