When Hip Hop Grew in Brooklyn

This is a story about Brooklyn-about a young man who grew up in a neighborhood called Crown Heights. It is a story of an ordinary kid who fell in love with music; first the music he heard at home, then with the music of the streets. This street music had been bubbling up around the city for nearly 10 years before the kid discovered it at a block party one summer evening. It was loud, infectious, and alive. The crazy thing was this music was really familiar but different at the same time. This crazy new kind of music grabbed the boy's attention and lit a fire in him that would never be put out. This music didn't have a name but later became known as Hip Hop.
