Grandmaster Flash, one of the founding fathers of hip-hop responsible for technical and stylistic innovations that helped shape its culture, is making a triumphant return to Crotona Park for a monumental event: Birth of a Culture: The Four Elements Block Party. Flash is bringing several of his friends and fellow pioneers of the culture back to Crotona Park to celebrate their contributions to hip-hop which started in the Bronx and has evolved into a global phenomenon, yet is inexorably woven into the story of America.

This show will feature live graffiti art from artist James Top.
