It's been a tough couple of weeks after the passing of A Tribe Called Quest's Phife Dawg, and now the group is set to offer him an official tribute in New York City. Tomorrow, April 4, the group will be honoring his life in Queens at St. Albans Park at 10:30 AM with "The Celebration of Phife." They've promised that "the first 200 fans to arrive will receive something very special," but other than that the details on what the event entails have been very sparse. Either way, it will be sure to be a well-rounded tribute for the group's fallen member.Read our tribute to Phife right here.UPDATE [April 4]: The event at St. Albans Park is currently underway, with a small gathering of fans as well as a team passing out commemorative T-shirts and tickets to "The Celebration of Phife" concert tomorrow at the Apollo Theater.
