In the early 1980's many people were unaware that the hip hop movement was beginning to take form. Capturing the early stages of a movement that is now worldwide, Michael Holman was there to get the "word up" and out.
Through his televised shows "Graffiti Rock" and "TV New York", Michael Holman brought a whole new culture to the living rooms of those searching to indentify with the sounds of the street. Graffiti Rock covers the humble beginnings of many now well-known artists and musicians such as RUN-DMC, Kool Moe Dee, Special K, and the breakdancing/b-boying crew The New York City Breakers.
See how true underground artists got together and developed a scene that after 20 years has proven to withstand not only the test of time but even the name given originally as an insult - Hip Hop!
Featuring: RUN-DMC, Kool Moe Dee, Doug E. Fresh, Fab 5 Freddy, DJ Jazzy Jay, Shannon, and The New York City Breakers
