The Universal Hip-Hop Museum, which broke ground in 2021 in the Bronx, has gotten a major cash endorsement to the tune of $5 million. The federal grant will go towards completing construction on the museum, as well as other local programs and initiatives.

This past Sunday, on January 29th, several hip-hop veterans gathered with senators and legislators for the announcement and celebration. On hand were Grandmaster Flash, G. Simone, KRS-One, and others. The Universal Hip-Hop Museum is located at 610 Exterior Street, in The Bronx.
