DJ Kool Herc is recognized by many as the Father of Hip Hop. When he moved to New York from Jamaica in the late 1960s, Herc adapted to American culture quickly. When he hosted his early parties with his sister in 1973, they contributed significantly to the growth and evolution of what would later be known as Hip Hop.
