#SHOWBIZ: Nineties hip-hop group 4U2C set for grand comeback concert
KUALA LUMPUR: Legendary Malaysian 1990s hip-hop group 4U2C is poised for a powerful comeback with 'WE 4U2C Live in Concert,' scheduled for Sept 15 at the Idea Live Arena in Petaling Jaya.
This highly anticipated event, themed "Bringin' Back Da 90's Flava," will reunite all seven original members: Datuk AC Mizal, Aren, Yanz, Rinz, Lanz, Charlie, and Azam.
It offers fans a golden opportunity to relive the group's heyday.
The idea for the concert was initially sparked by AC Mizal's wife, Datin Emylia Rosnaida, before being realised with support from Juss Event Sdn Bhd.
"This concert has been a long-term dream of mine," shared AC Mizal, whose real name is Mizal Zaini.
"My wife first suggested it, and soon after, Juss Event came on board. It's truly a dream come true, and we're ready to give fans an unforgettable night."
AC Mizal also acknowledged that the recent success of the KRU reunion concert served as an inspiration.
"We're thankful to KRU, as its success reignited interest in 1990s acts like us. It showed that there's still strong demand for nostalgic performances. Now it's our turn to share this special moment with fans and family."
More than just a trip down memory lane, the concert marks 4U2C's official return to the local music scene.
"We're not just here for nostalgia; we want to be trendsetters again. 4U2C was the first local group to blend singing and choreographed dance performances. We're proud of that legacy, and we're bringing it back."
To ensure a top-tier production, renowned composer and musical director Aubrey Suwito has been enlisted to helm the concert's musical direction.
He will be supported by a team of 14 seasoned professional musicians.
Adding to the excitement, 4U2C will also debut three brand-new singles during the concert — a special treat for fans who have stood by them over the years.
Organised by Juss Event, the concert not only celebrates 4U2C's past success but also signals a fresh new chapter for the group in the Malaysian music industry, nearly 30 years after their debut.
