Spike Lee throws Brooklyn Block Party celebrating 30th anniversary of Iconic film ”Do The Right Thing”

Do The Right Thing Way, became official back in July of 2015 and is the official location for Spike Lee's annual Block Party! Spike makes it a point to return to the very location where he filmed the thought-provoking story some 30 years ago. DTRT like so many of Spike’s other films tells the story of the Brooklynites and the Greater Black Community.

Spike Brought out several guest throughout the 7-hour event including his castmates from the film Rosie Perez and Giancarlo Esposito , as well Les Twins, Public Enemy, and many others! I did spend much time at the gathering as I has to hit another event afterwards but I did manage to capture some really great photos! You can check out my full gallery below! My favorite shots have to be the dance battle that broke out during DJ Spinna’s set.

Legendary Cyphers is back for Season 7! We had a great opening night, filled with plenty of new faces and all the vets came out. We even had our first battle break out between Iron Emperor and Osyris Antham!

A personal goal for Season 7 is to take way more photos as well as continuing to provide the livestream coverage of the cypher! So to follow through and deliver in that, here or some shots from Friday’s cypher!
