Chillin’ At Da Depot

Read Catherine Shoichet’s story, then watch the sweet video: On the back of the shopping cart, a bright light flashes with each hip-hop beat. Nelson Sanchez glides past piles of plywood. He crisscrosses his arms. He waves a potted plant in the air. He points at his bright orange apron. I’m chillin’ at the Depot. I’m chillin’ with my people. Givin’ you that customer service that can’t be beat. By day, the 27-year-old King High graduate sells windows and doors at Home Depot in Riverview. By night, he’s Kash Bezel, aspiring hip-hop artist. On a MySpace page, he promotes his music and posts pictures of himself with rap stars LL Cool J and Diddy. He works in one world and dreams of the other.
