THE BRONX, 1979
JOE CONZO JR.
TONY TONE AND KOOL HERC
The first time Joe Conzo met Clive Kool Herc Campbell, he knew right away it was an important moment. Hed already heard all the stories about the hip-hop prodigy: about how several years earlier, the sixteen-year-old Jamaican immigrant threw a back to school party in the rec room of an apartment in the South Bronx. Or about how Herc had seemingly invented hip-hop by utilizing two turntables and a mixer to isolate the break between main sections of a song. Repeated, looped, and extended, breaks became the foundation of a new kind of music.
Conzo first met Tony Tone, a founding member of The Cold Crush Brothers, a year prior, while they all attended South Bronx High School. Conzo would travel to clubs with Cold Crush and take photos that were usually used on flyers to promote subsequent shows.
Kool Herc was already an urban legend by the time we met. I was a lot younger than him, so to actually meet this person dominating the sound system on the west side of the Bronx was a big moment. He was a big, intimidating guy, but I was able to befriend him. Herc didnt really like having his picture taken, and in fact he happens to hate this picture because his tongue is sticking out.
I was in eleventh grade at South Bronx High School when I first started photographing hip-hop. Back then, I was a chubby kid with an Angela Davis afro. I wasnt into sports or anything, but I was into photography. My Minolta SR-T 200 became my best friend and I took it everywhere. My classmates DJ Tony Tone and Easy AD had formed a group called the Cold Crush Brothers the year prior. Cold Crush got a gig playing at T-Connection, so I went with them to shoot it.
Since we were teenagers, we were only allowed inside because Cold Crush had a gig that night. It was the first night I photographed them as a group. Before this, I had only shot at park jams, so there I was, this little Puerto Rican kid just hanging out with this legendary DJ, watching other DJs do their thing. Charlie Chase was DJing that night instead of Herc, and he was playing all these disco songs that my parents listened to except he was playing them in this new way. That was the moment that hip-hop kidnapped me.
