Cognac kings Hennessy are embracing the hip hip community with an upcoming four-city series of musical performances curated by Common and Philadelphia hometown heroes, the Roots. Fans in attendance of any of the Hennessy Artistry Series shows can expect a lineup of up-and-coming talent and even some iconic special guests, with Questlove and Co. acting as resident house band.
