So, I was walking around the Bronx to find the museum, it´s a bit hard to find, but let me tell you:

IT´S SO WORTH LOOKING FOR!!

As someone who was breaking and spraying and roaming the streets in 84-86, it was such a cool trip down memory lane. Unfortunately, I dropped out of the then sub-culture when my best friend died just when the golden era began. But still, it´s a period in my life I will never forget, and thank you so much to the Universal Hip Hop Museum for keeping it alive.

I loved all the original mixtapes, the original contracts, autographs, clothing, letters, flyers and so much more. I felt like being part of history, all though in a very humble and small way.

Make sure you try their AI when you come around, it nailed it totally for me with Soweto by Pro Kid, which has been on repeat ever since.

One more thing, the guys at the museum was just so down to earth, welcoming, interested in my story and awesome ambassadors for the hip hop culture.

10 out of 10 stars from me!

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to this museum. The hip hop artifacts, historical items, and unique pieces truly brought me back to that time. At the moment, the exhibit chronicles 1980-1985, but even in these 5 years, there was truly enough content to fill three of these spaces. The staff was amazing and talked with such passion and love for the culture. Lastly, it was nice learning that those behind the museum and who donated from their own personal collections were actually around during that time and lived it themselves. I am excited to visit the museum when its in full force in 2024! Until then, highly recommend checking...
