I don't know if y'all watch graff videos, but it is one of my favorite things. Rarely do us non-writers get to actually watch a piece come together; it's usually done stealthly, at night, or in the shadows. But in videos, we get to see it start from almost nothing, and turn into art right before our eyes. In Denver, this weekend, a graff video will be made, but that's far from all.
Talented writers such as: Jive, Reps, East, Reks, Dread, Emit, Scribe, Jolt, Jher, Ouiji, Gamma and the BTR crew will be using over 400 cans and two days to paint a huge mural. To inspire and accompany these artists will be an eclectic representation of Colorado Hip Hop, with live performances by: FOE, Fresh Breath Committee, The Littleague, Manifest & Arkhightek, Denver Massive, Microphone Jones, Mike Wird with DJedi Flowerz, The Reminders, Ace Miyamoto, Main Course, DJ Cavem, Nofrendo with J.Reed, Panama, Path One, Soda Pop Heads, Spellbinder, Strange Powers, 420Chronic Addicts, Lunalilo Di Vinci, Turner Jackson, Xperiment, Whygee with DJ BrikaBrak. And the DJs: Stretch, Unison, Lazy Eyez, Vajra, MU$A, Selector Sam, and Puffah Brown.
Of course the Breakers will be taking advantage of these amazing sounds, with a 1 on 1 battle, 2 on 2 Bonnie and Clyde, and Popping contests with cash prizes. The whole event will be held together by Host extraordinaire Dent.
This is an all ages event and will be the first official celebration of summer. Come watch and be a part of history being made. I also hear that the final video will have a score by Denver's own SELKO.
