“Brooklyn just threw the ULTIMATE hip-hop block party — and everyone from DJ Hurricane to the OG B-Boys pulled up to honor MCA, Jam Master Jay, and Ricky Powell.” 🎤
From Coney Island with Love: MCA • Jam Master Jay • Ricky Powell – LEGENDS LIVE FOREVER 🎤🔥
Brooklyn showed OUT for one of the most epic hip-hop celebrations of the year — a day dedicated to the legacies of MCA (Beastie Boys), Jam Master Jay (Run DMC), and legendary photographer Ricky Powell.

Featuring interviews with:
✅ DJ Hurricane – family to BOTH the Beastie Boys & Run DMC
✅ Original Brooklyn B-Boys & Fresh Kids Crew
