Reunited rap act 3rd Bass performed at a surprise birthday bash at Studio 450 on Tuesday night in New York for Tommy Jeans vice president Andy Hilfiger, brother of designer Tommy.

MC Serch, Prime Minister Pete Nice and DJ Daddy Rich ran through a short but sweet three-song set that included "Pop Goes the Weasel," "The Gas Face" and one free-styled number. The performance marked the band's first time onstage since the days of its 1991 "Derelicts of Dialect" tour.
