The String Quartet Tribute to Tupac

Vitamin String Quartet

Iconic West Coast rap anthems reimagined as somber, elegant chamber music. A percussive and melodic tribute that trades 808s for the woody resonance of strings.

Moments Worth Listening For
The cello mimicking the iconic G-funk bassline of California Love with a gritty, percussive bow stroke.
The transition into the bridge of Dear Mama where the violins take on a weeping, operatic quality.
The way the quartet captures the rhythmic syncopation of Tupac's vocal delivery on All Eyez on Me through sharp staccato phrasing.
