Celebrations and tributes are underway for Hip Hop's 50th anniversary.
It's a huge streaming success worldwide and has evolved into a multi-billion dollar industry...and it all started in the Bronx.
In August 1973, Cool Herc made history on Sedgwick Avenue with his break beat style of DJing, igniting this new cultural movement. Years later, it captivated a Bronx teen who became the electrifying DJ and entertainer known as kid Capri The Bronx launched many great artists, DJs, and styles of dance. Graffiti and clothing all came out of a time and place were living conditions were harsh and negative influences were everywhere. CEO Chuck Creekmur has played a pivotal role in documenting Hip Hop's incredible journey.
In honor of the 50th Anniversary of Hip Hop, the Universal Hip Hop museum in the Bronx is sponsoring a year-long series of events and displays in its pop-up exhibition space.
