On August 11, 1973, hip-hop was born at a house party in the Bronx.
50 years later the genre has been reshaped in the image of cities
and regions around the world. Brittany Luse and NPR Music's Sheldon
Pearce take a tour of those regions and look at where hip-hop might
go in the next 50 years.

Plus, Brittany is joined by KQED's Pendarvis Harshaw to do a deep
dive into a hip-hop scene from the Bay Area known as hyphy. It was
loud. It was silly. But underneath all that partying, the hyphy
movement also helped a community grieve.

To see more of Pendarvis Harshaw's coverage you can check out
KQED's year-long exploration of Bay Area hip-hop history. To dig
into NPR's series on the regional sounds of hip-hop, you can check
