A multimedia show that tells the story of the early days of Hip Hop through a live performance of the four elements: DJing, Emceeing, B-Boying and Graffiti Art. Explore the history behind the music set in the Bronx, NY, during a time where urban decay and gang culture inspired a people to create their own form of expression.

Herb Newsome, playing 10 Characters using music, dance, video, graffiti, and rhyming, shines as the audience will be taken on a journey to the past to discover how each of the element came into existence.
