Kevin Hart Day at @ Max’s Cheesesteaks with Freeway, Chill Moody and Bria Marie.

Philly celebrated Kevin Hart‘s 38th birthday yesterday with a party in front of Max’s Cheesesteaks on Erie Avenue, about a block away from where the comedian grew up.

Mural Arts painted his likeness on the side of the building, enshrining the hometown hero who is said to be the highest paid comedian in the world right now. For his part, Hart begged people not to pee on his mural, even though it’s on the second floor.

Bria Marie and Chill Moody got the party started and then, after speeches from all the politicians and Kevin Hart, Freeway took the stage.

Free performed his three biggest hits, ending with “What We Do.” By that point, many in the crowd had jumped the security fence and a bunch of random folks rocked out on stage with the rapper who used to hang our not far way in North Philly.

With everyone singing along, it was a great moment to end a day full of Philly love.
