Thanks to everyone who came out to the grand finale of the 2014 Crotona Park Jams - we have such a great crowd and they love all of the DJs! God bless them! If you believe, send a word of thanks to God for being so generous with the good weather on Thursdays in July! We have maybe been rained out 3 or 4 times since 2003! Thanks to GrandmasterCaz Brown for giving us more than we bargained for with special guests Mele Mel Glover and Chiefrocker Busybee and to GrandWizzard Theodore Livingston for putting on a big show for the party people and to DJ Jazzy Jay for rocking out the park with the good vibe music! Thanks as always to Forever Host: Grandmaster CAZ for conducting the show. Enormous thanks to Muhammad Stanley Bell Islam, Minster Zulu Ali and Warren Zulukingjustice Parker for holding us down with Zulu Warriors Security Inc! They are truly the best and we highly recommend them. Thanks to our BFF photographers: head honcho: Joe Conzo plus Francisco Reyes of mamboso.net, Ignacio Soltero, Ming Han, Teofilo Colon Jr Photography, and special guest photographer Todd Heisler from the New York Times! (NYT and David Gonzalez - you truly spoil us with all this love!) And everyone please lets show some love to the FriendsOf CrotonaPark - esp. Rose Ordonez Jenkins, Meiling Viera-Delgado and Teofilo Campeon, Official Rane DJ, Councilmember Maria del Carmen Arroyo and Councilmember Vanessa L. Gibson and all of our generous sponsors for making the Crotona Park Jams possible!! Extra special gratitude to Crotona Park manager Portia Jane Cook Dyrenforth and her crew for making us feel so welcome and arming us with barricades, electricity, bathrooms and garbage cans (other tools of war that one does not usually consider)! DJ Jazzy Jay provided sound this summer and it is AWESOME - if you need sound - let me know and Ill put you in touch with him - that goes for anyone we work with - if you want to book them - let me know! Thanks to Marilyn Alonzo for being by by side and driving me and making my life so much better with her friendship and help every day (until she goes to Zumba). Thanks again to Jinxda Shirt King for the awesome tent! Thanks to everyone who helped me pick up garbage at the end of the night (yes I DO THAT - not park employees so please start using garbage cans!). Thanks to SONY and Eric King for donating items for us to raffle and raise funds for Friends of Crotona! Thanks to DJ Mean Gene for passing out flyers and yelling at me when I didnt have new ones ready LOL! And lastly not not leastly - thanks and much love to my man Tools of War grassroots Hip Hop co-founder and warrior, filmer, photographer, security, ambassador, boundary setter: Jorge Fabel Pabon - we could not do this without you - we missed you so much these past few jams and cant wait to have you back at the helm again in August to participate in the fun and mayhem ;) I hope I didnt miss anyone. If I did please know it was not intentional!
