I shot this flick at the 2012 Rock The Bells festival in NJ.
Tommy Tiny Lister aka Debo ran onstage in tears after X’s prayer and they held each other for a minute.
I remember my eyes filling with tears watching everyone around me flooded with emotions as X consoled Tiny Lister.

It was an incredible moment to witness and capture.
This is a perfect example of how vulnerability, honesty and openness doesn’t make anyone less hardcore. DEBO & DMX hugging, crying and consoling each other. It’s beautiful

Rest In Peace to them both 😢🙏🏽

I wasn't going to bring my camera to the protest with me, but a friend urged me and said it was my responsibility to document what I see
