LOS ANGELES - June 12, 2017 - PRLog -- On Friday, June 16, 2017, west coast hip-hop legend, Lonzo Williams will celebrate his 60^th birthday with a red-carpet reunion taking place at the historic Eve After Dark Nightclub. The event will mark his 40-year career in the entertainment industry as a club owner, educator, musician and influencer of hip-hop culture.

The evening will kick off with a special proclamation ceremony presented by Compton City Councilwoman, Tana McCoy in honor of Lonzo's contribution to music and arts education. The night will continue with dinner and dancing as guests reunite in honor of Eve After Dark which showcased famous hip-hop and R&B acts of the 80's and 90's.

In lieu of gifts, Lonzo is requesting that guests purchase an autographed copy of his memoir N.ot W.ithout A.lonzo: The Roots of West Coast Hip Hop.

Proceeds from sales of his book will benefit his non-profit foundation "The Lyrcial Revolution".

In the wake of biopics and documentaries surrounding some of the most notorious figures in hip-hop; Lonzo's star continues to shine bright. Most recently in films like Straight Outta Compton and Surviving Compton: Dre, Suge & Michel'le. The films depict Lonzo as a no-nonsense club owner with a disdain for rap music, yet he remains a jewel in the hip-hop community and a notable resource to journalists and filmmakers seeking to add authenticity to their stories.

"It's a great time for hip-hop as the world prepares for the release of the Tupac Shakur biopic All Eyez On Me. We share the same birthday so this weekend has special meaning for me personally and the west-coast hip-hop community at-large", says Lonzo.
