Some of the Bay Area’s best DJs and Artists have assembled to pay tribute to life and legacy of Oakland’s beloved Graffiti King and Bay Area legend, Mike “DREAM” Francisco. Recognized worldwide as a style master, Dream’s graffiti established the visual aesthetic of Oakland’s Hip Hop culture, and put The Town on the map in what is now the fastest growing art movement in human history.
This event marks eleven years since Dream was tragically murdered, and all proceeds from the event will benefit Akil Francisco, Dream’s only son, now 11 years old.
All proceeds benefit the Dream Book Fund and the Dream Legacy Fund for his son Akil, 11, who recently lost his mother to breast cancer.
If you are unable to attend and wish to support, please make checks out to The Dream Trust Fund, or Akil Francisco.
Checks can be mailed to:

Fly Ladies Reppin the 4 Elements of Hip Hop
Sat February 12, 2011 @ La Pena, Berkeley
…Since its inception, Hip-Hop has spotlighted voices and movements of resistance. However, at times it has been used as a patriarchal tool for oppression. QUEENDOM seeks to reverse that by placing women at the center of this art form. Witness this all-female show as the ladies of hip-hop represent all 4 elements – graf writing, breakin’, MCing & DJing – as they always have.
