Queens graffiti artists Eli Lazare Salome-Diaz and Benny “FCEE” Guerra painted a large-scale mural of the classic album’s cover, featuring an adolescent Nas with Queensbridge in the background. The mural is titled “ILLMATIC30”

“One of my favorite songs on the project was ‘The World Is Mine’ and I think that’s indicative of every young person that grew up here in Queensbridge, knowing that there’s no barriers, no obstacles to stop me from realizing that the world is mine,” Urban Upbound Co-founder Bishop Mitchell Taylor said.

“He pours into our community every year via the camping trip and the toy drive that happens every year in Queensbridge for the kids. He’s never stopped supporting,” Hayes said. “He’s always supporting continuously, so let’s continue to honor him for all the great things he does.” -Corrine Hayes, president of the resident association for Queensbridge Houses

‘Cha Cha Slide’ creator DJ Casper dead at 58

The star from Chicago, born Willie Perry Jr, created the “Cha Cha Slide” — originally dubbed “Casper Slide Pt.1” — in 1998 for his nephew, a personal trainer who intended to use the line dance song in his fitness class.

DJ Casper sat down with ABC7 for his final television interview this May. He said he never expected the “Cha Cha Slide” to become such a hit.

“When I first did it, I did it as an aerobic exercise for my nephew at Bally’s,” Casper said. “From there, it just took off. Elroy Smith from WGCI grabbed ahold of it,” he continued.

His song isn’t only a favorite at weddings, it’s played at events all over the world. “I have one of the biggest songs that played at all stadiums: hockey, basketball, football, baseball; they played it at the Olympics,” Casper said.

“It was something that everybody could do.”

In May, Casper gave others struggling with cancer a word of encouragement.

“Anybody that’s going through cancer, know that you have cancer and cancer does not have you,” Casper said. “So, keep on doing the ‘Cha Cha Slide.'”
