The Jazzy Jay Hip Hop Festival was the brainchild of Ms. Grace Lovaglio last year and again this year. Last year a mural was painted for Jazzy Jay, but this year it had to be painted over due to all the graffiti that was placed on it. The mural will be repainted for the 3rd Annual Jazzy Jay Hip Hop Festival next year.
Artists of Hip Hop fame were on hand including many from the Zulu Nation. A citation was given to Ariael 'Jibarito' Cartgena by an inappropriately dressed Assemblywoman Nathalia Fernandez who looked like she just got out of bed. The assemblywoman is banking on becoming the next State Senator from the 34th State Senate District replacing current State Senator Alessandra Biaggi who lost her bid for a congressional seat in the August Democratic Primary. Both candidates to replace Assemblywoman Fernandez were on hand to take photos and solicit votes.
The stage was set up on Allerton Avenue at the corner of Barnes Avenue. Performers came up on the stage and then many stayed to see others perform. Grace Lovaglio was the emcee who introduced the performers and other.
The wall where last year a beautiful mural to honor Jazzy Jay was painted will have to be redone for next years Allerton Avenue Hip Hop Festival because the mural became full of graffiti that had to be painted over.
