For numerous months beginning in late Could, Will Power introduced his enormous enjoy of hip-hop and splendid competencies to the 150-foot tunnel together New York and Ravine Avenues in Jersey Heights. Doing work in collaboration with famous hip-hop documentarians Ernie Paniccioli, T. Eric Monroe and David Corio, Will painted a momentous mural having to pay homage to 45 hip-hop icons and to the photographers who so brilliantly documented them.
Captured over at the entry to the Hip-Hop Tunnel is the late legendary Tupac Shakur — dependent on a photo by T. Eric Monroe. A number of shut-ups from inside of the tunnel adhere to:
Snoop Dogg, closer up original image, the late Chi Modu

Sponsored by the Jersey Metropolis Mural Arts Program, the vastly extraordinary mural — seen by hundreds every day as they journey in and out of Jersey Heights — is a magnificent tribute to hip-hop tradition.
