In 2016, a portion of Sedgwick Avenue in the Bronx, New York City, was co-named "Hip Hop Boulevard" to honor the birthplace of hip-hop culture, specifically 1520 Sedgwick Avenue, where DJ Kool Herc held a pivotal back-to-school party in 1973.
LeRoy McCarthy has established himself as a revered documentarian of Hip Hop. A self-proclaimed “cultural advocate,” the Brooklyn resident has dedicated his life to ensuring Hip Hop and the artists who helped to make it a thriving, worldwide culture, are properly memorialized.
McCarthy’s work has garnered recognition from Congress, with Hip Hop Celebration Day taking place on August 11 and the entire month being dubbed “Hip-Hop Recognition Month.”
