About 1520 Sedgwick Avenue
1520 Sedgwick Avenue holds 102 apartments in the Bronx's Morris Heights neighborhood. Its first mortgages date to 1967, and it stands on the Cross Bronx Expressway, whose creation displaced thousands of people during the early 1970s. The New York Times has characterized it as a "haven for working class families" over a long period.
Hip hop's origin story is tied to the building. On August 11, 1973, Clive Campbell, who became known as DJ Kool Herc, played records for his sister Cindy Campbell's back-to-school birthday party, held in the recreation room. He used a pair of turntables, a mixer and duplicate copies of one record, while his friend Coke La Rock demonstrated rapping. Hip hop grew slowly across several places during the 1970s, but the party is verified as a pivotal, formative event. Some call it "the birthplace of hip hop."
In 2007 a rally was held to keep the housing affordable, and on July 5, 2007, a state parks and historic preservation office called the building the "birthplace of hip hop". After years of neglect and shady dealings, observers came to see it as a symbol of New York's affordable housing crisis.
