Friday August 11, 2023 is the 50th anniversary to the day of the now legendary summer party in the Bronx where an 18-year-old DJ Kool Herc played his sister’s back-to-school fundraiser in the rec room of their apartment building, an event now recognised as the spark which ignited hip hop music and culture.

2SER Breakfast kicked off the the day by interviewing several key figures who brought hip hop to the airwaves via community radio.

In the early 90’s PBS FM in Melbourne was the home of Steppin’ 2 Da A.M. with DJ Krisy the show, a show that ran for many years, featured almost the entire Australian hip hop scene of the era and was crucial in the development of the local scene.

2SER welcomed DJ Krisy back to the airwaves to celebrate the show and the culture.
