Legends Gather to Break Ground on Bronx Hip Hop Museum

Legends of Hip Hop gathered to break ground for a Universal Hip Hop Museum in the New York borough that birthed the culture, the Bronx. This included icons such as Nas, LL Cool J, Grandmaster Flash, Fat Joe, Slick Rick, and many more. These Hip Hop royalties held shovels for the official ceremony celebrating the construction of the museum. According to Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr, this ceremony and groundbreaking were “long overdue.”

In a quote from Diaz, he spoke to the New York Daily News saying; “Hip hop has continued to mature. It started from the early days of young boys and girls who saw the rest of the world ignore us. Showing the rest of the world the injustices that were happening in the South Bronx, in East New York, in Manhattan, in Harlem. God bless you all, and God bless Hip Hop.”
