Honestly this is probably the best bang-for-your-buck tour you will find in NYC. It was really cool getting to visit legendary hip hop spots and interact with the people and culture that birthed this cultural movement. You can't get this experience anywhere else on the planet. I am not the "tour type" of person, but am so glad to have experienced this one. We covered a lot of ground and knowledge during the tour. You'll get tons of photo/selfie opportunities if that's your thing. I appreciate the hustle part of this tour - it's not super polished which was cool. The host was full of energy and humor, and the driver was on the grumpy side which made the dynamic even better - a little Eric B and Rakim type of thing... Anyway if you are on the fence about this do it now - we hesitated and were lucky to get the last two seats on the tour. They also sell merch so you can get a hat or t shirt for your friend that lagged it too long and didn't get on the tour. Plus, if you bring grandma they will teach her how to bust out in a b-boy stance. read more

Hush Tours - Our Fear Less 4 Host ;-) - Walking Tours Near Me

AMAZING! I've been on tours in at least fifteen countries and the Hush Hip Hop Tour was in the top three! We were driven by owner John, and listened to the incredible RayZa as he shared his passion, love and voluminous historical info on all things Harlem, graffiti, hip hop, breaking, politics, music, DJing, MCing and inside scoop. At one stop we had a private breaking class with artist Eli on an iconic basketball court--crazy fun. We were scouting Hush for a future trip with a crew of high school students and they will lose their minds at the stories, videos and RayZa's live rap while on the bus transversing sites like the room where Hip Hop started, August 11, 1973, to the basketball court of the "shot heard round the world." Can't say enough about this epic tour, worth every penny. read more

Super fun day!! Went with my son and grandson and we all really enjoyed the day and I learned a lot about the culture of hip hop thanks to our super energetic guide Rayza. I was happily surprised to learn what a worldwide phenomenon this is!!! There was even a family from Italy and their teenage son's breaking skills were jaw dropping. FROM ITALY!!! I was floored. Family owned small business. Highly recommended!!! read more

Such a great experience, especially with RayZa as our tour guide. I really loved his energy and his perspective on things. To top it off he is an amazing artist who freestyled on the spot with ease and impressive skill. I feel like I got more than I paid for, including a "gentrification education". I learned so much about the origin and history of hip hop, the culture and the community. My only regret is that I didn't do the tour earlier in the week so could have done the Brooklyn walking tour, which I didn't know about until on the Harlem walking tour. read more

Hush Hip Hop Tours is a must for any hip hop fan. We did the Birthplace of Hip Hop Tour. If you love the music and the culture, this is for you. RayZa, a rising rap star, was our tour guide. He did an outstanding job taking us through a journey of hip hop history and making stops at all the significant locations where hip hop started and has continued to grow. Out of all the things we did in NYC, this was a highlight for sure. We would definitely do it again. read more

An incredibly immersive way to experience the deep culture of NYC. RayZa is a great guide with so much passion for his community, and you can see it in the way he greets everyone, from people on the tour to locals on the street. While shedding light on the reality of Harlem's past and present, he brings positivity to the people with hopes of a better future. Hush Tours is a must for people who love hip hop. read more

This is a MUST DO if you love Hip Hop! Our family was fortunate to fit in 2 tours in our NYC trip... and they were both AMAZING! The tour guides were beyond knowledgeable about the Hip Hop culture, history and neighborhood. It was obvious that hip hop is their life... they had a passion to share it with us! They made the tour fun and interactive for my teens and we will remember it forever. RayZa & Debra are incredible! Thanks for making our NYC trip special! read more

We absolutely loved this tour! My husband and I, along with our 21 year old and had a great time!!! It was so wonderful to share this experience with the new generation! We enjoyed the music and the spirit of the tour! Yes some reviewers mention taking photos at different locations, but it is fun...just go with it! This tour is informative and great for all audiences! Our tour guide was the hip hop legend Grandmaster Caz aka Casanova Fly. We enjoyed his spirit and his sharing his authentic passion for his art and the art of his peers. We went to several stops on the tour and ended with a stop at a restaurant called Manna (soul food buffet-yum). I encourage all to take the tour if they have the opportunity! read more

We had such a great time, the guide Razor was knowledgeable and enthusiastic!! I would recommend this to anyone who loves music and history. They were also very accommodating, we had to cancel trip a few times and did not lose the ticket money. They worked with us and took excellent care of the customer/family! That is how we left, like family.. Thank you HUSH (US) for bringing this experience and knowledge to the next generation. read more

Rayza was awesome. For those who know hip hop, Rayza will make you say "I didn't know that!". Lol! Highly recommend this tour! read more

*Review of "Rapper's Row" tour only* Have you ever wondered what the neighborhoods that spawned such hip hop legends as Run DMC, LL Cool J, 50 Cent, A Tribe Called Quest, Mobb Deep, and Nas look like? Well, have no fear... Hush Tours is here! (Did I just rap?) Recently created as an alternative to the wildly popular Harlem and Bronx excursion, this new day trip takes you into the heart of Queens, the capital of what is known as the "second wave" of hip hop. The Bronx might be the place where hip hop was born, but Queens is where it grew up, turning it into the multi-billion dollar juggernaut it is today. Back in the infancy stages in the Bronx, hip hop was not very mainstream, and there certainly was no money to be had for the artists. Queens changed all that. If no one were to tell you where you were, you would never know that such a nondescript, "Anytown, USA" locale could ultimately revolutionize the music industry as we know it. Queens is considered one of the more suburban parts of New York City, and the lifestyle its rappers lead is vastly different from those in the more urban Bronx. Despite its reputation to the outside world, Queens is not the slum people make it out to be. As a matter of fact, it was quite interesting to see the childhood homes of LL Cool J, Russell Simmons, and even 50 Cent featuring nicely manicured lawns on tree lined streets. It's been said that for native New York gentlemen looking for love, Queens is the place to go, with its two parent households and higher income/education levels. However, as we all know, this does not mean that Queens residents are immune from violence, as witnessed by the shootings of Jam Master Jay (RIP) and 50 Cent. Queens also does have its fair share of government housing, the largest of which is Queensbridge, original home of Nas, Mobb Deep, and NBA star Ron Artest. Our tour was MC'ed by the legendary Grandmaster Kaz alongside Mikey C. from the Fabulous 4. Both were an absolute hoot, and very informative, even though neither of them are the usual guides for Queens. The resident host, Mikey V., happened to be on vacation, but I certainly have no complaints about this replacement dynamic duo. The definite highlight of the trip was a visit to Five Pointz. Not to be confused with the Five Points in Manhattan, popularized by Bill the Butcher in Gangs of New York. This Five Pointz is known around the world as the graffiti mecca of New York City. We all know that the greater New York area itself is practically the street art capital of the universe, but this place takes it to another level. It is basically a multilevel warehouse with the sole purpose of being a showcase for graffiti. Artists from many international countries all converge on this very spot to show off their God given talents. Five Pointz is guaranteed to blow your mind away. Why take my word for it? Have a look for yourself! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNyWcl2AMbM) Another memorable moment was dropping by Mr. Rooney's barber shop (http://www.yelp.com/biz/mr-rooneys-jamaica), home of the MTV reality show, "The Shop." During our stop, our the two esteemed MC's treated us all with a freestyle over beats, and even invited any of the guests to bust out with their own. There was one individual who is a rapper from Poland, and he absolutely killed it, flowing in both Polish and English. Good stuff indeed. Furthermore, the live camera crew even interviewed a few of us lucky ones, so don't be surprised to see yours truly all up on MTV, putting it down for the Bay. On our way back home to Manhattan, stuck in the midday NYC traffic, Grandmaster Kaz kept the party going with a little karaoke session. He kicked it off with some Rod Stewart and The Police to set the tone, and before long, the entire crew was singing along with glee, as if the bus had magically turned yellow on the outside. I continued the festivities with my own version of Kool and the Gang's "Celebrate," and we all ended the excursion with a rousing rendition of "Faith" by George Michael. Overall, the trip is somewhat pricey at $55 a pop, but certainly worth it for all you hip hop fans. If time allows, most definitely check out Hush's main tour into Harlem and the Bronx, However, if you must pick just one, you can't go wrong with Queens. I mean, how many people can claim they have seen the actual "McDowell's" from coming to America, and the bus stop where LL Cool J's around the way girl was sucking on a lollipop? read more

Hush HipHop tours was a great experience. We took the Walk this way through Harlem tour that was included in our NYC sightseeing pass. As a HipHop fan I really needed to go on this tour. Our celebrity guide was RayZa. I had previously never heard of him. His energy is amazing, he took us on a fast paced and fun tour. The tour was so great that I was surprised to see how much my even my mom enjoyed it and she wasn't even a HipHop fan. She even remembered August 11 1973 from the tour. I asked RayZa more about his music and I started listening to it, wow, he has great talent! I definitely appreciate the authenticity of this tour. Next time I visit NYC, I have to go on one of their other tours in the Bronx. read more

Hush Tours - Graffiti hall of fame - Walking Tours Near Me

Growing up in Cali my entire life! I was a pop locker at 12 years old, a breakdancer at 13 years old and a D.J. at 16 years old. I always wanted to go to the roots of where it ALL started. I finally did on this tour at the age 47years old. This was a bucket list for me. There would have been absolutely NO WAY I would have died BEFORE I was able to Breakdance on a piece of cardboard with a "Dynamic Rocker" in Harlem! Yes!! I finally did it. My dream came to past! I must say the van with it's P.A system couldn't have been any more 100% than they have it! (Don't change it please, it keeps the atmosphere as authentic as it can feel). Emcee "Reggie Reg" of the "Crash Crew" is the best in Hip Hop history because he is the history. He was as accurate as a sniper for the U.S. Marines and very interactive with all races, backgrounds, age and gender on the bus. Very professional Reggie! Oh.. did I mention how humble he is!! His hype man "Razor" gots that that talent and calling for this generation. Can't wait to see "Razor" crossing barriers real soon. He and Reggie are the perfect chemistry for Hush Tours! No need to think twice about this tour. Never a dull moment on the entire tour! Worth every dollar and worth every tip you should give at the end of it all. Me and my wife fell in love with this tour!!! read more

Hush Tours - Walking Tours Near Me

One of a kind tour you can't get anywhere else besides NYC! Why? Because hip hop was created in NYC. Specifically the boogie down Bronx!! Home to a number of legends not just in hip hop but in life generally! Our tour guides were cool af and for those that don't know hip hop history, Grand Master Caz is a living legend and you'll see if you go on the Bronx tour. I was surprised they even brought Jay Z out for my tour! 5/5 Also food joint was delicious. read more

I first found Hush Tours on Trip Advisor where there were several more reviews... probably because their tours are famous with tourists from Europe. Even during my tour (Birthplace of Hip Hop) there were several guests from Europe and even from New Zealand. I'm so glad we went on this tour because it really was a highlight from our New York tour. Everything about it kept me out of my hangover daze from the night before's bday drinking. Our MC was none other than Grandmaster Caz from the Cold Crush Brothers. He was so funny and full of hip hop historical information. You could really tell that he loves his job and cares about where he came from and what he helped build since the 70's. Most tourists would steer away being brought through Harlem & the Bronx but every one of us felt right at home in the care of Caz. Honestly everyone we encountered on the streets and during lunch were genuine, hard working people... and that I can respect. The next time we're in NYC you bet we're going on one of the other tours. There's only so much cliche NY tourist traps you can visit but just don't forget you're in birthplace of hip hop! Highlights: breaking with Bboy Mean, historic locations of battles, clubs, homes of legends, and points of interests (too many to name) throughout the Boogie Down Bronx, several photo opportunities, soul food in Harlem, and a personalized signed Lyric book by Grandmaster Caz himself. Don't forget, no matter what you think you knew about Hip Hop is nothing until you find out about the roots from a legend himself. read more

A must for anyone who loves music history and Hip Hop, or for fans of the show The Get Down. Good enough tour that Anthony Bourdain featured it on his episode about The Bronx. Inspiring! The show The Get Down was conceived by and created by Baz Luhrmann after he took this tour. This is not just a tour but an education and indoctrination into Hip Hop culture. This is among many things in NYC that I would describe as "do it while you can" because gentrification is going to remove the feel and authenticity of this at some point. Unless the city suddenly goes bankrupt again, these types of NYC experiences are for a limited time only! If you're visiting NYC it is best to book this through Gray Line sightseeing passes. Only $20 if you by a Gray Line City Pass. Normally the tour is $60. At $60 it's worth every penny so you can't go wrong either way. Link to Gray Line is below. Tours fill up fast so you need to book in advance but they will allow you to pay in cash if you call them same day and there is room available. http://www.grayline.com/things-to-do/united-states/new-york-city/ This is a celebrity guided tour hosted by various legends and pioneers of the early days of Hip Hop before it became mainstream. This is all about roots and understanding where Hip Hop came from and what came to define it. You can call in advance to see who is scheduled on what day. Artists include, Rahiem of Grandmaster Flash & The Furious 5, Reggie Reg, Grandmaster Caz, Kurtis Blow, Kool DJ Red Alert, DJ Kool Herc and many others. Check out their webpage for a bio of each. Reggie Reg has been my favorite host on tours I have taken so far. I have a great appreciation for the song High Power Rapp thanks to that day too! https://www.hushtours.com/about-us/tour-guides-contributors/ I've done both the birthplace of hip hop tour and Where's Brooklyn at. Brooklyn was my favorite of the two. the tour meets in Brooklyn not far from the Barclay's center. It will take you down to The Brooklyn Bridge, past the original Junior's, past Jay Z's Stash spot, through Bed-Stuy, and back to the starting point. Many Instagram worthy moments, most notably Biggie's House, The Three Biggie Murals, The Old Dirty Bastard Mural, Marcy Projects (Jay-z's former residence) and Spike Lee's office. Some days Spike Lee comes out to say hello. We were not lucky enough to catch him that day, but we did get lucky and run into Nino from Jr Mafia as we were taking pictures on the stoop of Biggie's childhood home. This tour runs less frequently, and typically only on Thursday's. Birthplace of hip hop tour was a very good tour too! It meets in midtown Manhattan and takes you through Harlem to the Apollo Theatre, Sedgwick Ave (the birthplace of the first hip hop party), the Graffiti Wall of Fame, the Kool Herc Mural and past many sites which were featured in The Get Down. If they had not told me The creator of The Get Down was inspired to create the show after this tour, I would have guessed it just by the landmarks passed in The Bronx and the way they really drill you on the 5 core elements of Hip Hop which is what that show and this tour is breaking down for you in a see it and experience it manner. They are passionate about educating the public as to what Hip Hop is. They are big on participation. The hosts do a great job getting everyone to loosen up and come out of their shells. The more fun of a crowd you have on your tour, the better a time it will be. They will have volunteers come up and try on different hip hop clothing and accessories from back in the 80's, and they will also teach you some B-Boy moves and get you to dance on camera for a moment or two. At the end they will try to get someone to come up and freestyle if you like. Ignore the complaints from people who don't want to admit their issue with the tour was they struggle with shyness. It's family friendly and all positive so feel free to bring your kids. Local rapper Rayza co-hosts the tour and don't let him get out of there without freestyling for you because he is a monster when he lets loose! So good that I was searching for links to try and find music from him once the tour was over. The bus is air conditioned and comfy. You will jump on and off as you go from site to site. Lots of Classic Hip Hop songs blasting to set the mood, Empire State of Mind, DWYCK, High Power Rapp, and others. I don't do tours and Broadway shows, but I loved every moment of both of these tours and want to do some of the others they offer. I will be purchasing a Grey Line Sightseeing pass next time around just so I can do each tour that I haven't done yet, or go do some of them over and enjoy meeting the different legends of Hip Hop that host it. In the 21st century, Hip Hop is the new blues, NYC is the new Mississippi Delta, and these hip hop legends have found a way to become curators and ambassadors of one of the most important movements that ever came out of NYC. Now lets hear it for New York!!! read more

Tour started with a comprehensive video about New York. Then we toured part of the museum. Reggie Reg is personable, professional, and knowledgeable. We talked about a lot of different topics regarding hip hop. We ended the tour at the Apollo and he helped people get to where they needed to go. We recommend this tour. It was like getting two tours in one. read more

I did the Harlem/Bronx bus tour. It was great! Grandmaster Caz is so cool and gave us a really entertaining and informative tour. It's really interactive, so you don't feel like someone is just talking at you for hours. There are plenty of stops along the way to get pictures and hear stories about the beginnings of hip hop. I highly recommend doing this tour. I'll definitely be doing one of the other ones they offer when I'm back in town. read more

I knew I would enjoy the tour because of the hip hop content and history, but I had no idea how much fun it would be!!! I took my boyfriend as his Valentine's Day gift on the Birthplace of Hip Hop bus tour in Harlem and the Bronx. He once described himself as a stoic man, but our tour guide - Reggie Reg of the infamous Crash Crew was so high energy and engaging that my boyfriend was much more animated than I've ever seen him! We all danced, sang along to hip hop songs. It was like being on a party bus! I won't give too many details and spoil it for any one reading this review .... but I'll just say that they have several awesome surprises during the tour. Anyone who appreciates hip hop will LOVE this tour. Razor was Reggie' right hand man for the tour. He was just as awesome! We also had a special presentation and performance from Kid Glyde. Everything was amazing! I can't wait to do another tour. Well worth the cost of a ticket. I had to admit that I thought the price per ticket was a bit expensive, but after experiencing the tour...I'll say it was worth every penny! Where Brooklyn at will be my next Hush tour! read more

I took the Birthplace of Hip Hop Tour today and I feel that it was worth every penny and more. Our tour guide was none other than hip hop legend and pioneer Grandmaster Caz. Caz incorporated personal stories of his experience durring the early years of hip hop with the facts about each location to make this more than a tour and more like a living, interactive documentary. I am an emcee myself and I grew up on the music and stories of the places we visited today, so for me, this was a religious experience of sorts. If you LOVE hip hop culture, whether you are a participant or not, you MUST take the Birthplace of Hip Hop Tour at least once in your life! read more

Hush Tours is a must. Although it was a walking tour of Brooklyn due to Covid, I would do it all over again. This tour is a must! Scoob Love was a great tour guide. Hopefully when I visit NY in the future, the other tours are available. read more

Incredible experience, great staff and overall knowledge of hip hop was incredible! We did the "Where Brooklyn at" tour and thoroughly enjoyed it! From beginning to end we were enjoying great hip hop music while driving through and learning about hip hops legendary neighborhoods and beginnings!! From Biggies front steps on James street to Jay-z's stash house on 560 state street to the Marcy projects! The whole experience is incredible and one I highly recommend!! We had Johnny famous as our guide and he was awesome! Incredible to hear his stories and knowledge of the industry as a whole. If you're a hip hop head, this tour is for you!!! read more

Tour could not go forward due to the Covid Pandemic, but they took good care of the customers and were great to deal with. I am looking forward to the tour in the future. read more

Despite knowing nothing about hip-hop, I had a fantastic time on a Hush tour of the Bronx and Harlem. It opened my eyes--not just to a genre of music I never thought I would like, but to a side of New York I never saw during my three years of living there. I went on this tour for work. (I help steer book projects; client is writing book on hip-hop; client took me along.) Hosted on a comfy luxury bus, it's led by two fiftysomething pioneers of the genre, Grandmaster Caz and JDL of the Cold Crush Brothers. Lifelong best friends who've been involved with the culture and the music since 1973--Kool Herc's block parties, if you know about hip-hop's origin--they've got a great rapport, loopy senses of humor, and encyclopedic knowledge of the culture (how could they not - they created it!). Caz is the main guide and jokester, and JDL's kind of the straight man, but you'll hear both of them perform on this tour. As you would hope, it integrates a lot of great music and performance, both live and recorded. It was 35 degrees, snowing, and miserably slushy the entire day we went on the tour, but Caz and JDL's spirits didn't flag. We visited the funeral home that held the Notorious BIG's last service; the graffiti hall of fame; 1520 Sedgwick Avenue, the housing project where hip-hop was born; the Bronx walk of fame, where Caz's name is featured; the Apollo theater; and a number of parks, bridges, and apartment buildings that are prominently featured in Bronx and hip-hop lore. We capped the day off with a visit to Jacob, an excellent soul-food joint on 125th. About ten minutes in, I had to go to the bathroom, as I do pretty much whenever it's least convenient for everyone around me. JDL made a special stop and escorted me into a McDonald's, where he was kind and diplomatic with a racist bathroom security guard. He also agreed to do an interview with my client and is now enthusiastically helping him with his book project. Describing JDL's customer service as "going the extra mile" seems ludicrously reductive. Inspiring is the better word. read more

Went on the Hip Hop tour today and it was so terrible that my boyfriend and I peeled off after 30 minutes, as did 4 other people on the tour. The tour guide didn't really tell any stories or have any cohesive information to present. In fact, he didn't really speak complete sentences, just sort of rambled like "We talkin' in the 1980s..." but then wouldn't say exactly what he was talking about. Maybe it was just because it was Easter Sunday and there weren't any of the normal guides available, I'm not sure. It was a disappointment. The one upside is that we started the tour in the Museum of the City of New York which was AMAZING! read more

My girlfriend planned a day trip to NY for her birthday just to take this tour. What an amazing time!! Our tour guide, Reggie Reg of the Crash Crew was very knowledgeable of the History of hip hop and made sure that we were engaged and having a good time. It's a must do for anyone adventuring to NY. We will be back to do other tours read more

I don't know what to say about this tour except it is the most information, educational. fun, entertaining tour EVER! The tour guides are awesome. They stop for eats at a reasonably priced place with good food. The information is invaluable! The friendliness doesn't end with the tour guides, the owner, Debbie is AWESOME! Great tour-even....especially for people who don't know the history of Hip Hop. read more

Do this tour! Great for teenagers. My goddaughter and her friend, both 17 and from LA, went on the "Where Brooklyn At?" tour and loved it. Enjoyed the locations, information and their tour guides. They were very impressed that their guide had rapped with Tupac and other big names back in the day. Everyone was given an opportunity to freestyle while on the bus and it was a fun atmosphere. They came back very energized and inspired. read more

Fun, but somewhat irrelevant. Caz was a great tourguide, but I wanted to hear more of his thoughts on modern hip hop, or how the old school guys influenced today's style. At least hear his take on why the evolution has been bad or good, who sticks to the roots, who doesn't, etc. read more

The real deal. Much props and respect. Great time! Educational, entertaining and so much fun. I recommend it for anyone. We did the Bronx and will do Brooklyn next one I am in the city. Awesome!!!! read more

I loved Hush Tours !!!!! It was very informative , fun, and educational. They did all possible to make sure each participant was understanding and enjoying the tour. I thought I knew a little something about Hip Hop but, I learned so much more than I would've thought. The B-boy and break dancing part was one of my favorites. I would definitely recommend this Tour if you are a New Yorker like myself who listens to Hip Hop (more old school ) or visiting NY . It's a great tour for all ages ....... The Soul food stop was my only disappointment as I felt it could have been better. Not the worst by any means but, I was looking for a REAL Soul food joint. read more

The tour was fun, well paced and really enjoyable. The tour leaders really knew their stuff and were extremely entertaining. A great way to spend some time in NYC. read more

Awesome tour!! Grandmaster Caz is a certified LEGEND in Hip-Hop and more than qualified to lead this great excursion through NY's Hip-Hop landmarks and historical locations. I took the "Birthplace of Hip Hop Tour" and was very excited with the many places we saw, my wife even got a chance to learn B-Boy moves from B-Boy Spydey of the Dynamic Rockers. At the end of the tour Caz took us to a great soul food restaurant for a late lunch and took pics with everyone. read more

Great tour! My wife and I come from Italy and we read a lot about hip-hop, its birth, and the people who made this possible, and we have been truly happy to take the "Birthplace of Hip Hop Tour" the first time we came here in NYC! And having Grandmaster Caz as the host, a true legend of hip-hop, made the experience so thrilling, so emotional! We have seen places that are real history, where a tourist maybe is afraid to go alone, and with the real-life comments that only a person who has lived it like Grandmaster Caz can do. read more

This was an amazing experience for anyone interested in the birthplace of hip-hop. Great vibes all around. Highly recommend!

I did the Walk This Way Thru Harlem Tour and loved it! As a New York City native, I was surprised at how rich the context was that was paired with the facts presented by our guide Reg and the comfort he was able to provide our group filled with folks visiting the city for the first time. It was a great mix of facts, hard truths and comedic insight into the life and times of a Harlem native and how much the city has changed and stayed the same since the late 70s and early 80s. Looking forward to my next one! read more

Of I could give 10 stars, I would. Grandmaster Caz and his crew are amazing! Caz breaks down the birth of Hip Hop so intricately. His passion for hip hop is undeniable. His knowledge of Hip Hop is unmatched. The tour began with a friendly and interactive greeting session. The tour bus was very clean and comfy - with an awesome audiovisual music system. We drove by and stopped at many sites of Hip Hop's most legendary artists. We even became honorary B Boys and B Girls. Lol. This tour is unforgettable. There were people from so many backgrounds and areas of the world on the tour. Some didn't speak English, but Hip Hop brought us all together and we had a blast!!! HIP HOP IS LOVE AND LOVE IS HIP HOP! read more
