Often times, when you turn on your television, the news is riddled with practically all negative coverage when it comes to Oakland, CA. Well, on OCT 10th, Life Is Living: The Living Word Project assisted in presenting Estria’s 3rd Annual Invitational Graffiti Battle and brought back the oneness of people’s love for Hip Hop Culture and Art to the streets of The Town. Kings from across the globe gathered to pay tribute as well as partake in the battle. The likes of The Almighty TDK Crew, TWS, TNS, ICP, were in full effect along with 808’s pride: Kings Katch 1 + Thnk were representing to the fullest. Definitely a beautiful day and one that captured the essence of what the artform was, is and always will be about. One Love to: Vogue, Kuya Gyro, Estria, Refa1, Spie and all of the participants. Ya’ll are our heroes no question. One can’t help but believe that Mike Dream was smiling down on everyone that day.
