DJ Kool Herc's innovative way of playing records created longer breaks for dancing, bringing together kids from rival gangs.

From Jamaica to New York City, Laban Carrick Hill explores the life and times of DJ Kool Herc, a true pioneer in music and culture. With vivid storytelling, Hill reveals how hip hop evolved into a powerful force that transformed the world.
