No Words: Bronx DJ Dies Trying To Get Fallen iPhone Off Subway Tracks

The loyalty of an iPhone user should never ben questioned, from this point forward. Tragically, one New York man was electrocuted, and then struck by a Subway train while trying to get his fallen gadget off the tracks.

Francisco Diego, aka Teck Trackz, was a 22-year-old DJ from the Bronx. He was killed Saturday (June 1), and finished off by a No. 2 train, at the he Wakefield-241St. stop, the last on its route.

After his iPhone fell, sources say Diego managed to get in between two train cars and onto the tracks. He was shocked to death after touching the third rail, followed by the train hitting his body as it pulled into the station.  Diego hosted parties at the Bronx nightclub Maximo's Place, one of which recently went down over Memorial Day Weekend.

Some were surprised that he would risk his life, for a phone. "He's not the type to jump into the subway to get it," said a 16-year-old friend. "He would just go et a new one. That's why this is so shocking."

Unfortunately, the weekend's incident wasn't the first time Diego made it onto the tracks. "He's done it before," his sister Nandy, said. "Which is why he tried to do it again. But this time it wasn't successful. I feel like my heart has been ripped out."

He was rushed to Jacobi Medical Center, but was unable to be revived.  A friend described Diego as "super friendly" and always had a smile on his face. His marked the second death by a No. 2 train over a 24-hour period.

Early Friday (May 31), a man died after being hit by a northbound train at the E. 174th station. The victim was reportedly pinned between the train and the platform.- See more at: http://hiphopwired.com/2013/06/03/bronx-dj-dies-trying-to-get-fallen-iphone-off-subway-tracks/#sthash.3p0l6HSN.dpuf

"The Art Behind The Tape" By D.J. Mars Aims To Be 1st Ever Mixtape Cover Art Book: @djmars404

The mixtape game is something entirely different now, but the music medium has been a part of Hip-Hop culture since the beginning. Early on, mixtapes from vets like DJ Kid Capri, DJ Ron G, DJ Clue and others dominated cassette decks all over. With the digital age, mixtape artwork now only gets seen on smartphones and computer screens these days. A new book, however, looks to trace the rich history of mixtape cover art, including breaking down the entire evolution of the street release.

The Art Behind The Tape is an upcoming mixtape cover art coffee book presented by DJ Mars, Bril Ndiaye and music writer Maurice Garland. The trio has enacted a Kickstarter campaign this week in hopes that the public will help fund the production of the book and help them reach their goal of $5,000. Both DJ Mars and Garland make impassioned pleas via video to the public to help get their book off the ground.

DJ Mars on the book as found on the Kickstarter page:

From that thought forward i decided to put together a coffee table book displaying a visual history of mixtape art. From the days when the Kid Capri's of the world just wrote dates on their tape "Kid Capri 2-18". To the current era where a mix tape dj would commission a skilled graphic designer to craft a piece of marketable art that would allow the tape to compete with an album.
