About Me

Sedgwick & Cedar â€œWhere Hip Hop Began â€˜73â€1st House Party 1520 Sedgwick Ave, Bronx NYIt began from humble beginnings. Cindy Campbell decided to throw a back to school party in the small Rec Room at 1520 Sedgwick Avenue in the Bronx on August 11, 1973. Her big brother, DJ Kool Herc, extended the break beats and mesmerized the jam packed crowd. That first Hip Hop house party would change the world forever.1st Park Jam Cedar Park, Bronx NY DJ Kool Herc could not contain the party inside for long. He decided to move the party to the Sedgwick Avenue Rec Area outside. This would be the first Hip Hop Block Party. Hundreds came and the traffic shut down Sedgwick Avenue.Finally, DJ Kool Herc moved the party down the street to Cedar Park. Thousands came in droves in the darkness of night to see the first Hip Hop Park Jam. Kool Herc hot wired a light pole for juice to power up his legendary Herculord speakers and rocked the borough.Sedgwick Avenue & Cedar Park is the authentic birthplace "Where It All Began."
