    About this ebook

    On August 11 1973 the first Hip Hop party was held in the rec room of 1520 Sedgwick Ave in the Bronx, NY. On that day a young man named DJ Kool Herc would become a legend.

    Many other individuals were instrumental in making the DJ an artist and not just a person who played records.

    This book will teach children of all ages the origins of the DJ, one of the five elements of Hip Hop.
