| The 2008 True School NYC Park Jam Line Up from Tools of War grassroots Hip Hop! Experience Hip Hop in it's truest form! Tools of War Park Jams preserve the essence of Hip Hop DJing by presenting some of the culture's most talented practitioners on stage in the parks. For the past five years we have been blessed with experiencing magical moments in Hip Hop history. These jams preserve the spirit of Hip Hop's initial cultural imperative: free to the public, all ages, no dress code and organic artistic expression. In these celebrations of life and art, spontaneous cyphers erupt as dancers rock to the sets of the best DJs on the scene. From our elders to our youth, everyone gets down at the most clean and wholesome park jams ever. The Tools of War Park Jams empower the audience with positive vibrations! The call for unification and the upliftment of our communities is reinforced by way of non-offensive entertainment. With a strict "no profanity and no racial slurs" rule, these jams present the best of what Hip Hop has to offer. One of my dreams came true when my wife, Christie Z-Pabon, successfully brought continuous Hip Hop jams back to the parks. Finally, I can look forward to going to the a whole summer's worth of culturally charged events just as I did back in the day! Once again, Hip Hop lives! Official host, GrandMaster Caz, keeps us entertained as he rocks the mic and guides us through each jam's outstanding line up. Superman's legendary sound system blasts through the parks and side streets proving to be one of the mightiest Hip Hop audio arsenals in history. Christie Z's organizational skills keep the events jumping without delay. The consistency of these three individuals, all of the featured artists and the attendees share a common cause that has resulted in the resurrection of a dying ritual, Hip Hop park jams! Peace, Jorge "Fabel" Pabon Tools of War, Rock Steady Crew, TC5 and UZN myspace.com/PopMasterFabel |
