In the economic collapse of the 70's in the Bronx, building's burnt to the ground
and now?
A brand new building will rise in a place that was once on fire

For four years now, the Universal Hip Hop Museum members like Rocky Bucano, Kurtis Blow, Rakim among others, have been working relentlessly on developing plans for a place to preserve Hip Hop by having a museum that displays artifacts, photography & the history of Hip Hop. The museum has partnered with Microsoft & google for a moving entertainment experience.

Their vision

The Universal Hip Hop Museum gives multigenerational audiences worldwide access to an immersive cultural arts, education and entertainment experience that tells a comprehensive study of Hip Hop culture’s past, present and future via all digital media platforms and live events, and interactive touring pop up exhibitions

The development will include the museum, hundreds of affordable housing apartments, a movie theater, food court, a space for educational programming & more. Who's coming with me when it's done?
