Will Power Pays Homage to Hip-Hop Culture in Chilltown

For quite a few months beginning in late May perhaps, Will Ability brought his substantial love of hip-hop and splendid techniques to the 150-foot tunnel together New York and Ravine Avenues in Jersey Heights. Working in collaboration with mentioned 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 earlier mentioned at the entry to the Hip-Hop Tunnel is the late famous Tupac Shakur — centered on a photo by T. Eric Monroe. Many near-ups from within the tunnel observe:

Sponsored by the Jersey Town Mural Arts Program, the hugely outstanding mural — found by hundreds everyday as they vacation in and out of Jersey Heights — is a impressive tribute to hip-hop culture.
