Can we talk about Bushwick Bill for a moment? Long before many of you readers (not the born and raised ones) had the neighborhood of Bushwick near the tip of your tongue, there was perhaps, as there was for me, Bushwick Bill and the Ghetto Boys.  Who can forget chart topping albums (#43) Phantom of the Rapra? Or of course, Universal Small Souljah? All I’m saying is that his legacy lives on, because each week, as I troll google for the most recent mentions of Bushwick, I’d say about half the entries are about good ole Bill.

I’m Peru.  I’m not from Peru. Short piece on Peru Ana Ana Peru filmed in Bushwick.  Focus is on their thoughts on gentrification.  Then I think Ana drops a bottle, and the sound cuts out for the rest of the “documentary.”

A God Was My Copilot and Then The Bottom Fell Out. A well-shot slideshow of Ad Hoc’s exhibition Poets of the Paste.

“It’s also great because this way when Manhattan gets nuked, which with any luck should be any day now, we’ll still have a label!” Bushwick based metal label The End Records is a no bullshit operation according to the band they just signed.
