The South Bronx will forever remain the birthplace of hip-hop, and these days the New York City borough is still facilitating the movement. A reporter from the NY Daily News went deep and found a new crew called the Rebel Diaz Arts Collective. Two years ago they finally launched the first hip-hop community center to grace the Bronx in years.
"Hip-hop started in the Bronx, but the Bronx had no hip-hop community center," said Rodrigo Venegas, one of the Chilean brothers that started Rebel Diaz, and also fronts a hip-hop group that goes by the same name. "We wanted to give young people a space to learn and perform."
