Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
If you're a rapper, what's better than being on the cover of XXL? Um, yeah, not much, actually. Well, maybe being the centerpiece of a mural and still being around to appreciate it -- that has to come pretty close, right? Ask Mane Rok and Es-Nine, whose mugs were recently immortalized on the side of this rail car by a pair of industrious local graffiti artists (Duble and Kovet). Though we haven't gotten our hands on a copy yet, in the case of life imitating art or whatever, the rapper and producer have evidently included a shot of the mural in the foldout of the physical version of their album.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
