Under the Influence of ego trip Pt. 2
Documentaries From the Classic Hip-Hop Era Curated by ego trip and Andreas Vingaard

Rap City
Dir. Glenn Holsten & Lisa Marie Russo, 1988, 27 min.
Rap City spotlights Philadelphia and features rare and candid footage of Illadelph legends DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince and Schoolly-D, as well as then-rising female emcee Yvette Money.

Writing on the Wall
Dir. Sandra King, 1986, 28 min.
Writing On the Wall tells the poignant story of a young Newark, NJ graffiti artist, MIKAH, struggling to make a name for himself. But the film also wins big points for historical significance by presenting a snapshot of legendary New York City cult figure, KEO—graf writer, artist and designer, and emcee—while still a teenaged member of MIKAH's crew.

Scheduled to appear: Filmmakers Glenn Holsten and Sandra King, KEO X-MEN, Micah Kelly aka MIKAH, the subject of the film.
