Hip Hop got it’s start

August 11, 1973
A DJ named Kool Hercat (Clive Campbell) played at a back-to-school party for his sister, Cindy Campbell, at 1520 Sedgwick Avenue, Bronx, and Hip Hop was born.

Since then, hip-hop has evolved and it has exploded. The influence of artists such Queen Latifah, Snoop Dogg, LL Cool J, and Jay-Z among others, have made this still-growing genre a global brand, and has proven that it is much more than just the music.
