The Bronx

The Bronx is full of history and culture. It’s where Babe Ruth became a baseball legend, hip-hop was born and an old-world Little Italy still thrives. See what makes the Bronx exciting.

Hip-Hop Started In the South Bronx

The South Bronx is famous for being the birthplace of hip-hop and graffiti, but there's also an abundance of heartfelt new offerings in the area spearheaded by locals. South Bronx native, celebrated DJ and owner of Sankofa Haus, Michael “DJ Spynfo” Eagen, shows us around the neighborhood of Mott Haven. As Eagen invites us along to explore, he connects with friends to reflect on the neighborhood’s progression from the 1970s to now. Watch to learn more.
