NSPYouth.org and Educated Voices of Hip Hop
presents
The 7th Annual BROOKLYN HIP HOP HISTORY Celebration
(BHHHC).
JUNE 10TH, 2005
The yearly assembly respectfully salutes the history,
culture and integrity of Hip Hop with emphasis on
Brooklyn's contribution to the ethnology. BHHHC '05
will esteem the classic Hip Hop artistry of Newcleus,
Count Coolout and Stafe during its opening night
ceremonies. 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
Stafe. 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
stage, along with a ferocious B-Boy / B-Girl
competition hosted by recording artist Sonja Blade
with breaks by King Uprock. Guest DJ is Brooklyn's
Jasey Jase on the remarkable wheels of steel.
Opening
night awards and gala kicks off at 8:00 PM on Friday,
June 10th at BRIC Studios, 57 Rockwell Place in
Brooklyn, New York. A donation of $10 will cover the
evening, of which proceeds will benefit the Educated
Voices of Hip Hop Summer Youth Academy. Student
discounts are also available.
Brooklyn Hip Hop History
celebreation also invites you to an Art Exhibition
