Back To The True School at Crotona Park: Bronx NYC

GrandMaster Caz Kool DJ Red Alert and DJ Jazzy Jay at Crotona Park
Tools Of War closed out their jams this year at Crotona Park in The Bronx last week with a classic Back To The True School lineup: Grandmaster Caz, Kool DJ Red Alert and DJ Jazzy Jay. The show was dedicated to hip hop warriors who recently passed away including Flyer King Buddy Esquire, Lucky Strike, B-Boy Zip & Take One and Kool DJ AJ Scratch. The show was hosted by GrandMaster Caz who did an excellent job keeping the show moving despite audio problems with the wireless microphone and the power which shut down in the middle of some sets. It was a great place to just sit back and chill with the sounds of classic soul and hip hop tracks playing but ultimately the music will make you get up and dance. Behind the turntables and DJs a circle of b-boys and b-girls formed in an endless flurry of spinning, popping and locking. A lot of hip hop luminaries showed up to check out the jam including Charlie Ahearn (director of Wild Style), Coke La Rock (the first MC in the history of hip hop), Eddie Cheeba (a founding father of rap music) and Lava 1&2 (legendary graffiti artist). Check out the photos below and see you next year at the park. Start practicing those fly dance moves and routines!
