Street Dedication Ceremony For The Late Phife Dawg Takes Place

On Saturday many fans and big names in hip-hop came out for the street dedication for the late “A Tribe Called Quest” member Phife Dawg.

The New York Daily News reports that the crowd chanted his name, as the “Phife Dawg” Taylor Way sign was unveiled on the corner of Linden Blvd. and 192^nd Street in Queens, NY.

Surviving members Q-Tip and Jarobi White were among the crowd as they celebrated the unveiling of the street name. White said, “People get murals and tributes to them all over the place, but to have a mural on the very block, the very street, we walked everyday.”

Phife Dawg passed away back in March due to complications from diabetes.

A Tribe Called Quest released their final album “We Got It From Here…Thank You 4 Your Service,” earlier this month.
