Considered one of the founding fathers of rap, Afrika Bambaataa has long been considered a revolutionary, both within the music business and beyond. Raised in the South Bronx, Afrika Bambaataa made his name as a DJ, rapper, and songwriter, eventually becoming the foremost DJ, event organizer, and promoter of the large block parties that rocked the neighborhood during the mid-to-late ’70s. Leading into the 80s, Bambaataa had found acclaim for releasing countless genre-defining tracks, infusing Hip Hop and Electronic elements into a sound that would influence other artists for years to come.
