The Get Up
The Get Up was inspired by all of the musicians that shared their stories with me when I would DJ in the Detroit, MI area during the mid 2000's.
In Graffiti Writing, "Getting Up" is getting your name out there, in as many places and as high as you can, with the goal of achieving fame in your city and among other writers.
The Get Up is exactly that, a place where people can tell their stories and help spread the word about their cause, their hustle, and their passion.
So, listen to their stories, share their ups and downs, and maybe in the end you'll be inspired to Get Up too. If you already have something your pursuing, let me know when you're ready to talk!
