The Spirit Told Me.
Spirit 2 Da Street was started in 2015 by Monogram Hunters Medicine Man Larry, with the legendary Big Chief Tyrone “Pie” Stevenson as its Grand Marshal. Pie masked 23 years as Spy Boy and Gang Flag, mentored by Melvin Reed and Jerome Smith of Tambourine and Fan.
The club was built to pay tribute to that 7th Ward Tambourine and Fan culture. The name came straight from Larry’s conviction — the spirit told him he could do it — so he took the spirit to the street.
Take the spirit to the street.
