For the 50th anniversary of hip hop, New York City hosted a slew of events celebrating a milestone for the biggest genre of music that is so rich with history. I missed most of the events that circulated around the boroughs for the entirety of the summer. Basketball was my main focus.
However, I was able to catch one of the last events of the season in the Bronx at this cypher led by Steve Muelz. For Hip Hop 50, this showcase of artistry and talent was so special for the culture.

Man, I would have been so keyed into the music, I would have forgotten to shoot! I gotta make a point of trying to go to something like this. You're living dangerous, though. Opening a video about a Bronx Cypher with a Black Thought track 😂

Interesting final thoughts! But I think you nailed it, specificity is going to be your friend. Getting deeper will lead to more profound stories, of course. I think you did a great job documenting the cypher but it really is a big fish to cook, I can imagine there's a lot of events happening of the sorts in all of the city. It would be a lot to take on as a project. Anyway, it make me think about my own work, I consider myself a music photographer (not concerts, not events, music in general), but a lot of it is of course, live music and finally I picked a "scene" to focus on. So it feels a lot like doing it in the moment and then only time will tell if there was something there or not. It's kind of a gut feeling. IDk sorry for the long comment, I think if you go down this road of documenting music artists it can be very, very fulfilling all along the process.

Anything is possible with Jesus 😂 I’m glad you did this and shot it! I spoke to you on threads about our favorite hip hop generations months ago. It’s great seeing how you’re documenting the culture as an outsider looking inside with passion n love for the culture. God speed breh
