Great conversation on Friday with Rocky Bucano - CEO, The Hip Hop Museum at The Hip Hop Museum about featuring art, music, and culture more prominently in the South Bronx leading into their grand opening and beyond. The Bronx is the home of Hip Hop and there's an untapped ecosystem that can be built to elevate the contributions of so many Bronxites. The Hip Hop Museum brings with it hundreds of affordable housing units, public space, a playground, waterfront park, and will be home to several non-profit organizations like BronxWorks. More to come! L+M Development Partners LLC Tirschwell Annie

Today in Hip Hop History, The Hip Hop Museum (THHM) broke ground on a vacant lot now known as Bronx Point. It’s amazing how time flies! We are almost at the finish line. In just over a year from now, we will finally have our grand opening, and at that time, the Hip Hop community will finally have a place to call home. THHM is the Official Record of Hip Hop‼️
