The yearly assembly respectfully salutes the history, culture and integrity of Hip Hop with emphasis on Brooklyn's contribution to the ethnology.
Brooklyn, NYC (PRWEB) April 29, 2006 -- Brooklyn Hip Hop History Celebration '06 will esteem the classic Hip Hop artistry of Jimmy “Super Rhymes” Spicer, Newcleus, Count Coolout and Strafe during its opening day ceremonies.
Jimmy Spicer released a number of old school rap singles during the late '70s and early '80s, including the epic "Adventures of Super Rhymes" (Dazz, 1979), "The Bubble Bunch" (Mercury, 1982), "Money (Dollar Bill Y'all)" (Spring, 1983), and the Rick Rubin-produced "Beat the Clock" (Def Jam, 1985).
Newcleus officiated their place in music history with they're hypnotic techno-fused groove,"Jam On Revenge” (The Wikki-Wikki Song) which has been immortalized unfathomably on mixed tapes. When rap music was making its initiatory emergence, Count Coolout was one of the pioneering skills-men of the genre. His "Rhythm Rap Rock" pounced on the scene with fury; viciously igniting the dance floors and blazing a permanent mark on the major music charts like Cashbox and Billboard. The boisterously funky party anthem "Set It Off" has been around for at least twenty years and is credited to the artist known as Strafe. This monstrous club classic is still setting off parties today with its infectious eternal groove. These artists will be honored with a Brooklyn Hip Hop History trophy during the awards ceremony.
A stunning urban fashion show will also grace the floor, along with a ferocious B-Boy / Mic competition hosted by freestyle champion Super Natural with breaks by King Uprock of The Dynasty Rockers. Guest DJ is Brooklyn's Jasey Jase on the remarkable wheels of steel. Opening day awards and kick off at 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 10th at, 225 Adelphi Place in Brooklyn, New York. A donation of $5 will cover the evening, of which proceeds will benefit the PS 20 School for the arts. Student discounts are also available.
