Where it Started: Hip-Hop History

In this episode, we take a look at the rich history of what captures the Black community as a whole: music and hip-hop. Starting with the roots of a flourishing subculture, we digress into the founding of the Sugarhill Gang and the block parties that started it all. This picturesque retelling from the viewpoints of fans and people who were in the eye of the storm during the art form's early years creates an intriguing story like none other. From parents to the generations that would follow, listen to a close involvement of how hip-hop has shaped the community and shaken the culture to its core.1. Asa Abraham—Producer2.
