chains_150This is the mural we created in 2.5 days for the AFI documentary film competition which we took first place in for the historical category. Painted by myself, Trixter, Ariel, and Bounce we made our version of the history of hip hop. Tracing it from the African slave trade to Jamaica and eventually to the South Bronx. Honoring Africa Bambaataa, U-Roy, and Kool Herc. This piece was behind Brooklyn Projects on Melrose and has been in countless videos and on MTVs show “Scarred”.
