Just as Kool Herc is credited in America as being a founding father of hip hop, a DJ by the name of Leron Teeni is given the same sort of credit with being the jump starter of the hip hop scene in Israel in the mid 1990s.

Italian hip hop started in the early 1990s. One of the first hip hop crews to catch the attention of the Italian mainstream was Milan’s Articolo 31, then and still today produced by Franco Godi, who had written the soundtrack to the animated TV series Signor Rossi in the 1970s.

Hip Hop culture first appeared in Brazil in the early 80s a little after hip hop appeared in the U.S. São Paulo was the most prominent location for Hip Hop when it first came out. So how did hip hop get spread around Brazil? 

Like all things a beginning must exist. Hip-Hop for Americans began in the 70’s and has been shaping the minds of generations ever since and had been moving from land to land leaving it’s mark.
