The JERSEY FRESH JAM is New Jersey’s premiere Hip Hop festival. Since 2005, it has grown from a humble event into one the most respected celebrations of Hip Hop culture on the east coast. At the twilight of every summer, aerosol artists from far and wide converge to adorn the walls of Terracycle INC with their signature masterpieces, while local and regionally known MCs, bands, and DJs provide the soundtrack for the days festivities.

Unfortunately, the Hip-Hop acts this year, in my opinion, were poorly chosen--raw, racist, extremely XXX-rated lyrics blasted from the loud speakers, with children of all ages on the premises. Hardly befitting the name "Jersey Fresh," the police shut down the sound at 4 pm.
