The Universal Hip-Hop Museum will put on "Hip-Hop Loves NY," a livestream benefit event Thursday to aid healthcare workers in New York.
The event, streaming from 6-9 p.m., will feature a bevy of old-school rappers, including Ice T, Kurtis Blow, Mike Epps, Amityville's De La Soul, Naughty by Nature, Biz Markie, Dave East, Roosevelt's Chuck D, Kid N Play, Sugar Hill Gang, Big Daddy Kane and more. Ralph McDaniels, creator of the seminal 1980s TV show "Video Music Box," will host.
The Universal Hip-Hop Museum is hosting the benefit alongside Mass Appeal and YouTube, with the event livestreaming on Mass Appeal’s YouTube channel.
Proceeds will go toward SOMOS Community Care, a network of more than 2500 healthcare providers throughout New York City, and The Bronx Community Relief Effort, an effort focused on meeting the most essential needs in that borough.
