This video explores the birth of the musical movement in South Bronx, New York, examining the various social and political factors that affected life in this area and thus gave rise to the music and culture as a form of freedom and expression. With the modern-day Scottish hip hop scene thriving, we get introduced to some of the acts and individuals who were vital in nurturing the culture in Scotland.
