Clive Campbell, known better to the world as DJ Kool Herc is celebrated as the founder of Hip Hop. Campbell, a Jamaican DJ decided to throw a “Back To School Jam” on August 11th, in 1973 at 1520 Sedgwick Ave in New York. With the idea of earning extra money for school clothes, Herc’s sister Cindy Campbell put the party together and had Herc DJ the party and the rest is history. Forty-seven years ago Hip Hop was born.
