- Description
- Description
- In the early 70s in the Bronx, Jamaican-born DJ Kool Herc used two turntables to extend the instrumental part of records. This instrumental part, called the "break", was the part where the dancers on the floor went crazy. This gave birth to a craze called "breakdancing." It also was the start of a billion-dollar industry called hip-hop.
