Through Born in the Bronx, Joe Conzo presents a unique cross-section of an explosive and experimental time in music history. Born in the Bronx is a striking anthology of Hip Hop’s baby steps. Not only does it capture the emergence of a burgeoning culture but also the fashion and character of the surrounding community through rare photographs of MC’s and DJs to records, flyers, and other ephemera.
