5K EVERY DAY – Day #223

(Intro to “Apache” by The Incredible Bongo Band)

Today is officially Hip-Hop Day – we have DJ Kool Herc to thank for gifting us this musical genre

(Hook to “Apache” by The Incredible Bongo Band)

On this date, back in 1973, a back-to-school party in the Bronx was hosted by DJ Kool Herc – the innovator of isolating and looping the “breakbeats” from funk and soul records. The rest is history as Hip Hop spread everywhere.

And on a day like this, I had a beat to run to for my 5K Every Day

QUOTE OF THE DAY:

That’s a genre for another day. Go enjoy your Hip Hop!
