On the 20th of August, the Jersey Fresh Graffiti Jam is going down at Terracycle. They are like seven years running, and each year the extravaganza gets larger. The Vicious Styles Crew has been putting in work in and around the Greater Trenton area, both with beautiful murals and such, as well as giving back to the youth and the community as a whole, so really, this is like a celebration of what Graf can do for a city. And the nation. ANYWAYS, I already told you guys about the Pre-Party on the 19th of August, but here's some info on the Jam...
Not only will 50+ graffiti artists (from Jersey, as well as up and down the East Coast, I believe) be painting live throughout the day, but there will be DJs Ahmad, Brown 13 and D-Shott providing music. Invited artists performing this year will include Pryme Prolifik, Slim DSM, Black Collar Biz, Rhymageddon, Surg & Hellfire, Skrewtape, Mr. Fickle, Venomous2000 and plenty more!
Word from Kasso today is that there will be a Food Drive going down. They are asking that you bring some non-perishable donations, which will be given to Mercer Street Friends (and ultimately forwarded to TASK, women's shelters and even directly to Mercer County families in need). Hopefully the mixtape that I've been compiling track for will be available the day of as well. Come out - I'll be there. Say hello, take some pics, and enjoy some proper elements of Hip-Hop live and in color. CNN and other publications were out there documenting last year, and every year the JFJ gets larger, so be prepared!
