The history of hip-hop culture in Chicago has yet to be captured in full. Midway: The Story of Chicago Hip-Hop looks to change that by interviewing the graffiti artists, the dancers, the DJs, the emcees, the radio personalities, the promoters and many more. Hundreds of voices. One story.
This is not a trailer. This short video introduces you to the crew behind the production of Midway and explains why we think this is a very important project that finally needs to be told.
