Hip-Hop is the culture that redefined American music and we're celebrating throughout the month of October by announcing the Smithsonian Anthology of Hip-Hop and Rap Anthology. The anthology captures the evolution of Hip-Hop from its earliest days to artists of today through select tracks, essays, extensive liner notes, and designs that detail its cultural, social, and political impact. Check out highlights from the Museum's #HipHopHistory tour and help us Kickstart Hip-Hop History with this landmark collection of music, visuals, and powerful stories.
