we at rnyc hope barrack is right that cynicism is on the way out but we're glad that this guy applied himself to this none the less...thanks pitchfork! check it out...

"If you're part of the legions screaming for a collaboration between Williamsburg noise-rockers and Brownsville kiddie rappers, you will be very, very happy to learn about the Representing NYC series. Sam Hillmer of Zs is curating a series of records that pair very young rappers from Brooklyn neighborhoods with the indie types moving to these areas, thus forever making gentrification OK. The first release in the series is Da Bratz From Da Ville, a full-length collaboration between the Fly Girlz, a crew of Brownsville girls between the ages of 12 and 14, and producer Zebrablood, otherwise known as Excepter's Nathan Corbin. It will be released by Sockets/True Panther Sounds in March. The series launch party goes down on March 13 at New York's New Museum."
