2:55Now Playing“American Icons,” presented by Fox Nation and hosted by Sebastian Conelli, heads to the Bronx to uncover the gritty apartment building where hip hop was born — and the neighborhood party that changed music forever. From the rec room at 1520 Sedgwick Avenue to the rise of DJ Kool Herc, the episode dives into how one teenager’s turntables sparked a global cultural revolution. What began as one local party in the Bronx would eventually echo through every corner of music, fashion and culture around the world.
