Have you heard about [R]Evolution of Hip Hop! The anticipation is over and the new exhibit will be open on November 5th celebrating the history of hip hop.  Some of the best hip hop park jams in NYC housing projects to night clubs, national concert tours, TV and motion pictures circa 1980 to 1985.  Universal Hip Hop Museum will be taking you through an interactive journey of history,

At the [R]Evolution of Hip Hop you will see artifacts, multimedia, artificial intelligence, holograms, and virtual and augmented technologies. The centerpiece installation “[R]Evolution of Hip Hop Breakbeat Narratives” featuring the Elementals. This immersive journey is a collaboration between the Universal Hip Hop Museum, Microsoft and the MIT Center for Advanced Virtuality, offering museum-goers the ability to take home a playlist of songs through a personalized narrative of Hip Hop history.

The innovative music, art, dance and fashion that first permeated city streets in the Bronx, Harlem, Brooklyn and Queens in the 1970s made its way Downtown. Saavy club promoters and risk-taking entrepreneurs would fuel the commercialization of Hip Hop culture and would give rise to the first Rap record labels, Master-Mixes on Black radio and the first smash hits on the Billboard charts. This arts and cultural revolution would soon spread Hip Hop to the West Coast and to every corner of the world.

Social distancing and all CDC guidelines are being enforced. Masks are required!
