The "Born" in The Bronx!: Expanded Edition by photographer Joe Conzo, The Man Who Took Hip Hop's Baby Pictures, explores the true origins of one of the most influential cultural movements in the world.
While Hip Hop entered the mainstream in the early 1980s with accessible groups like Run DMC and the Sugarhill Gang, its roots lie in the progressive, spontaneous musical culture that emerged from the neighborhoods of The Bronx during the 1970s. This artistic renaissance ignited a revolution in poetry, music, and fashion.
Curated by writer Johan Kugelberg, this book features improvisational artwork through never-before-published street flyers, Polaroids unearthed from basements across The Bronx, and first-hand testimonials from pioneers like Tony Tone, LA Sunshine, and Charlie Chase. "Born" in The Bronx!: Expanded Edition offers a rare glimpse into an experimental period that shaped a global cultural force.
