The Black Eyed Peas are preparing to rock the beat at the Sundance Film Festival tonight (Jan. 21) with their unique, multi-directional brand of hip-hop. But the group said the festival is merely the beginning for the group.
The trio will be performing live at club Plan B in Park City, Utah Tuesday for festival attendees and press participants. On Wednesday Jan. 22, Grandmaster Flash will accompany them for a party sponsored by VH1 and Levi’s Jeans. With all performances, the trio intends to bless crowds with their fancy footwork and rapid-fire rhymes.
