AUDIO ONLY
South Bronx by Boogie Down Productions, released in 1986, is a foundational diss track in the history of hip-hop and a defining moment in the Bronx vs. Queensbridge rivalry. The song features hard-hitting production and KRS-One’s razor-sharp lyrics asserting the Bronx’s role in the birth of hip-hop. The music video is raw and street-level, featuring scenes of breakdancing, graffiti, and real-life NYC backdrops. Trivia: This track ignited the legendary “Bridge Wars,” establishing BDP as pioneers in politically conscious and battle-driven rap.
