Party Arty (D.I.T.C.) 1979 - 2008

It´s been a year now since my friend Party Arty (D.I.T.C./Ghetto Dwellas) died of undisclosed health complications. I got to know Arty when we booked A.G. for the Burnin´ Beatz HipHop Festival in 2001. A.G.´s "The 'Dirty Version" was out for a year and even though the Album missed "The Hit" it was one of the best Albums released in 1999. When A.G. told me the names of his crew for the flight tickets, one of them was Arthur Sheridan. It struck me that A.G. was going to bring that rough voice heard on his Album, better known a Party Arty. I can say we really had a good time with those guys here in Hannover. In 2002 i made it to New York and also to Patterson Projects in the Bronx, the home of HipHop. Arty and A.G. showed us around and we got to hang out with them and the rest of the Ghetto Dwellas. In the following years i made it to a lot of shows with him all around Germany and eventually booked them again myself while i was working for Faust e.V.. Arty really was a humble Person, always caring about his people and he had a voice that stood out in a million! He was going to be signed by 50 Cent, but his death put an end to his career, which nearly made him achieve his dream. The video shows Arty in his home in the South Bronx, where i´ve been visiting him. R.I.P. Homie!
