Hip hop is being celebrated all over the world this month and at Double J we're also marking 50 years of a culture born in the Bronx.

Hip hop had small beginnings in New York City but has risen to become the most listened and significant musical genre in the world… and a cultural movement that has influenced everything from fashion to politics.

Join Double J's Hau Latukefu for episode 1 of this special audio series as he explains the origins of the hip hop's four key elements – DJing, MCing, break dancing and graffiti art.

Producer: Sam Wicks
