SANTA MONICA, Calif., March 10 /PRNewswire/ -- A historic day in
Brooklyn, the party of a lifetime -- the idea behind the "Dave
Chappelle's Block Party" film was simple; America's hottest comedian,
Dave Chappelle, went to his small hometown in Ohio to pass out golden
tickets, inviting people of all races and ages to join him, his
friends and the people of New York for a comedy and musical
extravaganza featuring all of the superstar comedian's favorite
artists. The celebration caught on film by Academy Award-wining
director Michael Gondry turned out to be one of the most important
events in music history; the film blends Dave Chappelle's signature
style of comedy with performances by today's most progressive urban
artists. The film is already accruing rave reviews; Vibe hails it
"incredibly important" and GQ labels it "blissful perfection," while
Elle affirms "it makes you feel ridiculously hopeful for the human
race".

The CD is equally as vibrant and vital. "Dave Chappelle's Block Party"
soundtrack is being released on Geffen Records on March 14th and is
executive produced by Corey Smith (Blacksmith Music) & Ahmir
"?uestlove" Thompson (The Roots). Boasting the music of chart-topping
and critically acclaimed superstars like Common, Mos Def, Talib Kweli,
Dead Prez, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, The Roots, Bilal, Big Daddy Kane
and Kool G Rap, the "Dave Chappelle's Block Party" soundtrack is a
sonic celebration of music and comedy, history and community.
