## Caption

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. 

Cover image: Fly Ty at the center, surrounded by legends: Scrap Lover, Scoob Lover, Roxanne Shanté, Kool G Rap, Marley Marl, Big Daddy Kane, Glamorous, Debbie D, Masta Ace, Nicola Bailey, Tyrone Williams Jr., Shawn Bailey, MC Shan, and Fola Bell. 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.
