Description
The Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture hosted its second annual Hip-Hop Block Party in 2023, which coincided with the 50th anniversary of the birth of hip-hop itself. This stylish black-and-white tee cotton pays homage to the hip-hop pioneers who transformed the turntable into a musical instrument through cutting, scratching, and crossfading between tracks.
