Chicago's vibrant hip-hop export Kid Sister and Montreal's turntablist prodigy (and Kanye West's DJ) A-Trak anchor the NHM's second serving of their First Fridays series. Kid Sister's sound flows like neon, with a fast, fresh touch of '90s flavor. A self-described party-rocker, A-Trak's super funky, hi-tech, electro-rap sound heats up the North American Mammal Hall along with DJ sets from dublab's Frosty & Take. To help get your learn on, early arrivals are treated to a curator-led exhibit tour as well as a discussion on the highly developed brains and communication systems of elephants.
