The Birth of Hip-Hop: Part 1

Beyond Black History Month

2023 is the 50th anniversary of hip hop. All year, we are dropping episodes in a special series that digs into one of the most popular forms of music. We’re kicking off the season with a look at the birth of hip hop. In this episode, we look at the connection between protest poetry and hip-hop, DJ Kool Herc’s iconic 1973 party, and all the external forces that contributed to hip-hop's growth like the fires that consumed parts of the South Bronx in the 70s.
