To appreciate The Culture, you need to understand where it all began. This summer, I kicked off BRIC’s new Master Class series with a lecture on the origins of Hip-Hop in New York City and the ripple effect it has had worldwide over the last 5 decades. Today, we’re sharing the audio from my master class with you, our listeners. We hope you enjoy this look back at the origins and evolution of Hip-Hop.• Back to Reading Credits is hosted by Wes Jackson and produced by Khyriel Palmer, Emily Boghossian, Raynita Vaughn, Chris Torres, Gabrielle Davenport, and Antoine Hardy, with help from Elyse Rodriguez Aleman, Jose Astorga, Jamie Martinez, Jonathan Ortiz, Zak Sherzad, Charlie Hoxie, and Kuye Youngblood.
