The Universal Hip Hop Museum (UHHM) has tapped dozens of rap legends for a special Hip Hop 50th Birthday Jam dubbed the "RAPAMANIA Showcase." The event takes place on August 11 from noon to 6 p.m. ET at Mill Pond Park in the Bronx with Public Enemy's Chuck D, Chill Rob G, Fearless 4, Busy Bee Starski, Sweet Tee, Kool Kyle the Star Child and many, many more.
Coke La Rock, the Original Spindarella, Pete Nice, Sheri Sher and Paradise will serve as hosts, while DJ Kevie Kev Rockwell will provide the music. An open cypher by Red Bull BC One and murals by the Thrive Collective—including TATS crew, Lady Pink and Queen Andrea—will represent the breaking and graffiti art elements of the culture.
The free event is among the many celebrations taking place all over New York City the week of August 11. Find more information here.
