TATS CRU BIG PUN Mural 2010

On june 24th and june 25th 2010 I went out to see the legendary TATS CRU re-do the Big Pun mural on 163rd st and Rogers place in the bronx for the 10th anniversary since his passing in Feb 7th , 2000…if you dont know who Big Pun is he was basicaly the best Latino Emcee ever to go platnum and really reresent the Boricuas and the South Bronx communities …he had an aura of him and his work that is still unmatched to this day…and TATS CRU legendary NYC graffiti muralist have been around since the late 1970s and have been associated with Big Pun and Terror Squad members for a long time so this is how they pay respect and make the neighborhood look a little more decent…I decided to dance somewhat and im rocking T shirts By Bronx Vibe which is an up and coming company which boast of Bronx Bravado in all of its forms through captivating imagry you can visit the web site here

June 12th I woke Up feeling all puertorican lol so I headed out to Spanish Harlem to Bboy and got there a little bit early so I helped set up for the Funktion Bboy jam that is thrown every year on the festival of the PR Parade and has been going on since around 2000…the Funktion jam is basicaly A free Bboy competition and they usualy have live art going on also and its right on lexington and 103rd in a school playground…I entered the jam my self and won my 1st battle against Bboy Rugrat suprisingly who is one of NYCs top Bboys…I later lost to Bboy main event in my second matchup but I still had a great time Doing a live art collaboration with NYC renound live artist Marthalicia. The winner of the bboy jam was Bboy Floor Phantom Of Ready To Rock and Zulu Kings.. below are some pics from the day
