TRUE STORY: At a party in the Bronx in 1973, DJ Kool Herc introduced the technique of playing the same album on two turntables and adding the breakbeat—an event recognized as the birth of hip-hop.

Happy birthday to DJ Kool Herc, perfector of spinning the breakbeat, founding father of hip hop. Herc was the DJ at a party at 1520 Sedgwick Ave NYC in 1973. Yeah, THAT party. Born in the hip hop Kingston, Jamaica, 4/16/1955. #DJKoolHerc #HopHopHonorRoll

I’m working on a triptych of silkscreen prints I started some 6 years ago! It depicts the Hip-Hop Holy Trinity of Kool Herc, Bambaataa, & Flash. It reflects my other main passion, music. #printmaking #hiphop #hiphopmusic #djkoolherc #afrikabambaataa #grandmasterflash #djculture #hiphopholytrinity
