The best rappers are the New York City metro conductors. Here’s a little video I shot and scored some music to. Unfortunately, digital camera quality back then wasn’t what it is today. maybe if you watch it from far far away it’ll be a bit more focused…
I shot along the 1 train, and some sections feature the infamous coffeeshop hostess Frau Viola.
The video was not shot in the Bronx, as many assume, but in Manhattan, where all the station entrances to the 1 line say “uptown and the bronx”, so when I thought about a title for the film this came to mind. I guess if you read something a million times it sticks.
To me this document brings up fond memories of a really good time in a great city. Hope it makes you feel the same way.
