Their aesthetic, their taste, their ability to dance, all affected what was played and how it was played.”The Get Down‘s protagonist Ezekiel “Books” Figuero is an ode to the reality that both black and Latino people, living side by side in the Boogie Down, added the essence of their cultures to the elixir now known as hip-hop. “One of the main reasons we made the character of Ezekiel [Books] half black, half Latino [is] because we wanted to play on that duality,” George, a supervising producer on the project, reveals. “New York culture of the ‘70s and ‘80s was very much a mix of Southern black, Latino primarily Puerto Rican and Jamaican and those three elements played a huge part [in] the creation of what we call hip-hop.At an exclusive Bronx screening of The Get Down in July, hip-hop pioneer DJ Grandmaster Flash commended the Netflix original for getting back to the “ingredients” of the genre, which he believes the general public often neglects to talk about.Speaking of firsts, back in 1982, The Fearless Four out of Harlem became the first hip hop crew to be signed to a major label. Devastating Tito along with his signature bucket hat was part of the group and a big part of hip hop history.DJ Disco Wiz from the Bronx was also a pioneer in hip hop as a part of one of the first DJ crews, Mighty Force. He is credited for creating mixed plate alongside another legendary DJ Grandmaster Caz.It all started at a birthday party in the Bronx. On August 11, 1973, a party at 1520 Sedgwick Avenue became the birth of hip hop as DJ Kool Herc put two turntables together and created the break beat. That was the day hip hop was born. For 50+ years this revolution has taken over our music, our entertainment, and our culture. For years, Puerto Ricans have been involved in the middle of the hip hop revolution throughout its history whether it was through breakdancing, djing, and eventually the MC’s.One of the first DJ’s to have come into prominence is DJ Charlie Chase of the Cold Crush Brothers. As a Puerto Rican, he had to fight to be accepted in a culture that was primarily African-American at the time.South Bronx is the birthplace of Hip-Hop, it comes to no surprise that the intermingling of Puerto Rican and West Indies along with Black styles are the main contributors to the basic Hip-Hop essence. In the 1960's the South Bronx had cumulated to neglect and social disorder.What many do not know is that the majority of the people who were influenced and later contributed to hip hop were Latinos. Puerto Ricans are MCs', break dancers like the Rock Steady Crew, and Graffiti artists (Sal Rojas, Brown Pride).To close out our roundup of the Latinx originators of hip-hop, we’ll be talking about CRASH.

The Bronx native was one half of the Mighty Force crew, with Grandmaster Caz (then Casanova Fly), who presented the first Latino rapper, Prince Whipper Whip. Wiz is also credited with creating the mixed plate in 1977, the first mixed dub recording in Hip-hop.Another b-boy crew with Latinx members, which was there during the birth of Hip-hop, is the New York City Breakers.
