Why: New York, NY -- November 21, 2005 -- Hip-Hop Culture began in the South Bronx borough of New York City in the early 70's. Inner-city youth defined their existence and identified their purpose in life when they developed the arts of DJing, Emceeing, Breaking and Aerosol (Graffiti) Art. Hip-Hop crews organized around these four artistic elements of Hip-Hop Culture. The Cold Crush Brothers and other groups embarked on tours around the world, establishing Hip-Hop as a culture in France, Japan, Germany, Africa and elsewhere.

One of the Emcees for the Cold Crush and Hip-Hop Icon, Easy A.D., documented Hip-Hop's history even while he was helping to make it. He and official Cold Crush photographer, Joey Conzo, are credited with preserving a vast storehouse of Hip-Hop artifacts which includes: photographs from 1979 - 1985 that depict Hip-Hop in its purest form, fliers from 1978 - 1985 that feature the different crews of the era, clothing/fashion, trophies, books, contracts and royalty statements.

This exhibit is the second in a series of historic presentations of Hip-Hop artifacts, which debuted at the Schomburg Library for Research in Black Culture, in Harlem, in November of 2004. Easy A.D. also serves as an Executive Manager and co-founder of Classic Hip-Hop, LLC.
