Will Power Pays Homage to Hip-Hop Culture in Chilltown

Katharine S. Class 2 days ago

For various months starting in late May possibly, Will Ability brought his large love of hip-hop and splendid techniques to the 150-foot tunnel alongside New York and Ravine Avenues in Jersey Heights. Performing in collaboration with observed hip-hop documentarians Ernie Paniccioli, T. Eric Monroe and David Corio, Will painted a momentous mural spending homage to 45 hip-hop icons and to the photographers who so brilliantly documented them.

Captured previously mentioned at the entry to the Hip-Hop Tunnel is the late famous Tupac Shakur — primarily based on a photograph by T. Eric Monroe. Numerous close-ups from inside the tunnel abide by:
