If you want to go back in the day, Friday night’s Masters of Ceremony Hip Hop Reunion may be the place for you.

Nearly a dozen legends of hip-hop, including DMX, Doug E. Fresh and Big Daddy Kane, will perform at the Richmond Coliseum.

The showcase kicks off at 8 p.m.

Also hitting the stage will be EPMD, Rakim, Slick Rick, Naughty by Nature, Special Ed and Biz Markie.

While his mainstream success peaked in the 1980s with DJ Eric B., Rakim is widely considered one of the best MCs of all time. The duo’s debut album, 1987’s “Paid in Full,” has topped several lists of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time.

Doug E. Fresh and Biz Markie are known for their beatboxing and melodic rhymes. Both perform as DJs all over the country.

Slick Rick is known for his trademark eye patch and elaborate storytelling, such as in “La Di Da Di” and “Children’s Story.”

Big Daddy Kane and Special Ed were part of the socially conscious subgenre of hip-hop that was prevalent in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Naughty by Nature, a trio from New Jersey, took the pop scene by storm with 1991’s “O.P.P.” They broke up in 2003, but started performing again nine years later.

DMX is known for his distinctive gravelly delivery of hardcore lyrics. He has performed and recorded consistently since the late 1990s.

Trending Topic, a new hip-hop group, also will be featured.

Local radio personalities King Tutt and DJ Drake will also take part.

Tickets range from $55 to $85 and may be purchased at the Coliseum box office or through Ticketmaster by calling (800) 745-3000, going online at Ticketmaster.com or at area Ticketmaster outlets.
