KRS-One Moves Into 1520 Sedgwick To Celebrate Hip-Hop’s 50th Anniversary
Salute to my brother @teacha_krsone @djjerry. KRS-One has announced a new initiative celebrating the 50th anniversary of Hip-Hop, moving into the Community Center of 1520 Sedgwick, the address recognized as the birthplace of the genre. The legacy emcee will lead a series of community-based programs, including a masterclass in Hip-Hop, launching Birthplaceofhiphop.nyc.
“The 50th Anniversary of Hip-Hop is a global movement that speaks to the grit, voice, and power of how it came to be in the first place – we used our voices when they tried to silence us,” expressed the 57-year-old in a statement.
We are grateful to be playing a small role in helping to preserve the integrity and history of Hip Hop and where it all began. Working with KRS-One has been a real education, his stewardship of this effort ensures its success,” added John A. Crotty, one of the owners of 1520 Sedgwick Ave.
Leading up to August 11, the date recognized as Hip-Hop’s official anniversary, the center is set to provide a series of educational programs that include Hip-Hop’s major “cultural” contributor and the history of Hip-Hop over 50 years, as well as popup exhibits to showcase and celebrate not only how the genre began, but also its soul and current expressions.
