DAY 2: THE FIRST RAPPERS & MCs.

Before rap became global, it started from the streets and block parties in the Bronx.

The first person to spark the movement was DJ Kool Herc. In the early 1970s, he hosted parties where he extended the break of funks records - the part people loved to dance to.

But guess what?

The DJ wasn't the only star.

Coke La Rock is widely recognized as one of the very first MCs. At parties, he would grab the mic to hype the crowd, shout out names, and keep the energy alive.

Soon after, names like Grandmaster Caz and Melle Mel helped shape MCing into lyrical performance - not just hype talk but rhythm, rhyme and storytelling.

Rap didn't start in big studios, it started from the streets, from expressions, from voice.

From hype... to poetry.

From party talk...to powerful messages.

Tomorrow - How rap moved from the Bronx to the world.🌎🔥. Stay tuned.
