Description
[Various DJs]
Collection of 7 Hip Hop flyers made to promote performances by various DJs, ca. 1978-79.
Original paper handbills, ranging in size from 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 to 8 1/2 x 11 inches, on white, yellow, pink, light pink, brown, and green paper. One handbill laminated, two with remnants of scotch tape at edges.
Hip Hop flyers such as these are some of the best primary sources for documenting the nascent Hip Hop movement. Packed with information, they record early fashion, the party scene, and give us the ability to trace the early evolution the careers of numerous DJs and artists; because they were only intended for short time use, very few have survived intact.
