What's Happening in Tempe, AZ…

Tempe’s Marquee Theatre is hosting a concert by the hip-hop act Thee Phantom and Illharmonic Orchestra this December.

Led by husband and wife performers Phantom and Phoenix, the band blends elements of hip-hop, soul, party rock and boom bap, all set to the instrumental backdrop of not only a hip-hop DJ, but an entire classical orchestra.

For Phantom, his musical beginnings involved rapping his first raps at age 8 and mixing his first beat, a Beastie Boys song remixed with Beethoven, at age 13.

With their use of woodwinds, brass, strings, and percussion instruments, including piano, Phantom and Phoenix regularly take to the mic to drop smooth rhymes reminiscent of other genre-fusing hip-hop bands like The Fugees and The Roots.

In addition, Phoenix easily switches from rapid-fire rhyming to melodic singing to bring the R&B flavor home for many of the songs.

One of Thee Phantom and Illharmonic Orchestra’s most defining moments that cemented them as a well-respected group was their 2001 performance at the Kimmel Center in their hometown of Philadelphia, where they became the first hip-hop group to perform in the venue’s history, with the backing of multiple local orchestras.
