Event Details
Throughout the past few decades, hip-hop has been a growing and dominating
genre in main-stream music. In this four week class, students will learn
how hip-hop started out in the early 70s, how it grew in the main stream
into the 80s, up until the twenty-first century. Students will learn the
different artists of each decade, and how each of these artists contributed
to the hip-hop genre. Such artists will include DJ Kool Herc, Grand Master
Flash, Run-DMC, Queen Latifah, The Notorious B.I.G, and others. Students
will also understand the different characteristics of hip-hop such as the
rhythms, technologies used in creating hip-hop music, type of fashion and
more. Tactile accessible images will be used to convey the art and style of
the images of the times.
This 4-session event will take place in person at the Andrew Heiskell
Library June 10, 17, 24, and July 1.

Throughout 2023, NYC’s public libraries will be celebrating 50 years since
the creation of hip-hop with a robust slate of programs throughout the
spring and summer. Working together with Queens Public Library and the
Brooklyn Public Library, NYPL is focusing on hip hop’s origins within New
York City and its rich legacy of art, culture, and music that spreads
across the nation and around the world.
