Aug. 11, 1973
DJ Kool Herc rocked a modest party for fellow teenagers on Aug. 11, 1973 in a small community room on the first floor; he was 18 at the time and 7 years before that he came from Kingston, Jamaica. That event is now commonly celebrated as the birth of hip-hop. The apartment building at 1520 Sedgwick Avenue in the Bronx, N.Y. is still in use in 2023. Give JAH thanks for HIPHOP and we don’t stop 🎶🔥💯
