Today, we honor the life and legacy of a true architect of Hip-Hop, Tyrone “Fly Ty” Williams, co-founder of Cold Chillin’ Records. A visionary who helped shape a generation of sound and spirit. In 2023, we brought lost archival footage back to life for a powerful tribute to Ty that filled #TheApollo with legends, love, and legacy.

A room full of history. And don’t miss the stunning #BizMarkie artwork Ty proudly held, created by the incredible art_kenglomerate. Rest in power, Fly Ty.🕊 Your influence lives forever on our stage and in Hip-Hop. 🎥 From The Apollo Archives
