About this listen

 Today hip-hop is the world’s most popular music, but it began as a neighborhood party in the Bronx. Guided by hip-hop historian Debra Harris, with stories from Mark Ronson, Fat Joe, and Pos and Maseo of De La Soul, we trace the genre’s rise through 10 essential songs, from “Rapper’s Delight” to A Tribe Called Quest, unpacking the DJ innovations, early recordings, and party culture that shaped hip-hop’s early years. Listen to our extended old-school hip-hop playlist: ⁠⁠Spotify⁠ ⁠| ⁠⁠Apple Music⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠YouTube Music⁠ New episodes of The Track Star Podcast every Wednesday!
