Street Jams were very popular in New York City back in the mid to late 70’s. It
was a venue where the best of the best (DJs, Breakers, and MCs/Rappers) would
show off their skills. These events would draw crowds in the thousands. One,
because it was free and secondly, because the purity of the street culture was
at its finest in its natural environment –the street!
These type of gatherings have been extinct for nearly 30 years. But due to the
world wide resurgence of New York’s original street culture, it is now time to
resurrect the street jam and take it to the next level as a full blown
festival. This will happen by including live graffiti, street fashions, car
displays, old and new school DJs, break dance battles, indoor and outdoor
festivities such as film screenings, underground art shows, live musical
performances from the legends of yesterday and today, and an area on the street
for various companies to promote and sell their products.
