played a major part in the birth of Hip Hop and Rap music.
As this story is relatively unknown I share it here.

Closely Connected to Brads Record Den was The DJ/MC T-Ski Valley who used to work there.
Here is a super fascinating Interview with him about the early days of Bronx Hip Hop Jams.
Knowledge is king. This is recommended reading for all you new school cats.
Know your history.
