KOOL HERC, BRAND NUBIAN, DJ SCRATCH, BLACK SHEEP + MORE TO CELEBRATE HIP HOP'S BIRTHDAY WITH NYC JAM

Hip Hop was birthed on August 11, 1973 at 1520 Sedgwick in the Bronx, where pioneering DJ Kool Herc and his sister Cindy Campbell threw their iconic “Back To School Jam.” As Hip Hop inches toward its 50th birthday, Video Music Box founder Ralph McDaniels has announced a special Spread Love Hip Hop Jam that encompasses several legendary acts.

According to McDaniels’ Instagram post, the event goes down on August 11 — Hip Hop’s 49th birthday — at Brooklyn’s Coney Island Amphitheater with EPMD legend DJ Scratch, Special Ed, Brand Nubian, Black Sheep, Smif-N-Wessun, Kool Herc, Cindy Campbell, Girl Codee and Sweet Tee. As he explained in the caption, “Video Music Box Aug.11th Spread Love Concert Coney Island Amphitheater 6pm Hip Hop Appreciation and special guests.”
