The project will encompass 50 painted walls between 63rd and 45th street on Market Street, a documentary film with scripted elements, a sign school and shop that will provide training for area youth and free signage for businesses on the market street corridor, and 2 books documenting the project. One of the books will be a small paperback that will be distributed to area businesses free of charge, for them to sell to visitors.

Apathy - True Love ft Phonte
Aug 18
Connecticut’s world famous rhyme wrecker returns with a warm hug and a deadly snakebite on his sophomore full length album, “Wanna Snuggle?” Apathy, known as lead MC of the indie fan favorite Demigodz clique as well as a member of Jedi Mind Tricks’ Army of the Pharaohs crew, follows up 2006’s well-received Babygrande Records “Eastern Philosophy” debut with a brand new masterpiece of 21 songs. Painstaking lyricism, strangleholding mic presence, high caliber rap flows and upper echelon neck-snapping production round out this release in true Demigodzilla fashion. Some of the highlights include the uptempo “Shoot First”, which is a Mike Shinoda produced track featuring the legendary B-Real (of Cypress Hill) and Celph Titled, as well as a collaboration with J-Live called “This Is The Formula”. Little Brother’s own Phonte makes a cameo on “True Love”, and some soulful hooks are laced across the album courtesy of Chip-Fu (of Fu-Schnickens) and Wu-Tang vocalist Blue Raspberry. Also contributing a major factor to the album is singer Holly Brook, best known for Fort Minor’s chart topping “Where’d You Go” single and video. Fort Minor, Get Busy Committee, Demigodz and AOTP family are definitely in full effect throughout the project, including Ryu (of Styles of Beyond), Motive, Emilio Lopez, King Magnetic, Veze Skante and more. The bulk of production is handled by Apathy himself, who has been building up a production resume producing for Tiye Phoenix, Styles of Beyond, 7L & Esoteric, Eternia, and upcoming albums from Cypress Hill and Edo G.
“Killing The Dream” - The Dream
I caught up with The Dream during his recent visit to London.
First up, when I met Dream, i said “welcome to my city”. He then saw what I was wearing, which was a “RUN LDN” tee (thanks to WearYourCity.com). Soon as he saw the tee, he goes “I want one of those”.
So if you see The Dream rocking a “RUN LDN” t-shirt, you’ll know who hooked him up! lol
Anyway….
In the first part of the interview, I speak to Mr. Radio Killer about his second album “Love vs. Money”, which is available to purchase now. It has had rave reviews in the States and it seems The Dream is coming into his own as an artist.
Also in the first part, The Dream explains how the racy Vibe photoshoot with Christina came about and their relationship.
During the 20 minute interview, The Dream called Christina his “wife” and “his fiancee”. Having noticed this, I picked Dream up on it and asked him to clarify whether he was married or not.
The Dream Interview Part 1
In the second part of the interview, I ask The Dream to give his “professional” opinion on Drake. He calls the Toronto native “refreshing”.
The R&B singer then spoke on his next album “Love King”, which is to be his last.

Thanks to The Dream and his label.
