TRIBUTE
IN MEMORY
Tribute documents artists, creatives, and cultural figures who are no longer with us and whose work or legacy merits preservation within ERA617's Latin urban archive. Some of these figures are part of the history of Letraz Fina Enterprize and of Boston; others, like Johnny Stone (El Pacman) and Jadiel (El Tsunami), belong to Puerto Rico's urban scene. Inclusion here implies no affiliation with ERA617 and no connection to Boston or New England.
