To commemorate Hip-Hop's 50th anniversary, Rémy Martin introduced the Mixtape Street Art Museum, a traveling exhibit spotlighting eight iconic DJs from five cities across the U.S., all imagined by the talented illustrator, Xia Gordon.

Additionally, a series of mixtape events with iHeartMedia will be available through the mural's A.R. technology, and will support a marquee partnership with the Universal Hip Hop Museum, per a press release. Kool DJ Red Alert, DJ Spinderella, DJ Cocoa Chanelle, DJ Marley Marl, DJ Yella, DJ Jelly, DJ Jay illa, and DJ Shortkut were all honored with murals across New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, and San Francisco.
