Yonkers: The Lost City of Hip Hop
Join us for an immersive program celebrating the rich and vibrant history of Hip Hop in Yonkers. This special event will feature a reading and discussion of the book Yonkers: The Lost City of Hip-Hop with graffiti specialist Ken Davis and DJ Beat Master Gene.
Jerome Enders’s book takes you through the MC’s and DJ battles, contract disputes, and more trials and tribulations to tell the story of Yonkers artists persisting in the face of hardships, eventually taking them to the top of the music industry.
Support provided by Sarah Lawrence College through a generous grant from the Mellon Foundation.
