I shouldn’t have to explain who Kool Herc is, but he’s in dire need of the Hip Hop community. Here’s an an article explaining the situation. Also, a bio for those who might want to brush up on their Hip Hop history, visit here or here.
There’s collections being taken by his sister if you would like to help.
Supporters can send monetary donations to Herc via PayPal (cindycampbell1@aol.com) or snail mail: Kool Herc Productions PO Box 20472, Huntington Station, NY 11746
There are many projects being created to raise money to assist him like “The Kool Herc Project”. Please do what you can but remember that the pioneers are getting older and we need to respect what they’ve done for this culture.

Thanks for posting this Cypher. We definitely encourage Hop Hip supporters to get behind him. Many of the people who built this genre are the least acknowledged and rewarded. I also would like to call out to all Hip Hop moguls and big rollers to remember why you are able to do what you do and also step up and support.
