    1976–1986

    A South Bronx club on Jerome Avenue near 167th Street, open from 1976 to 1986. Its first Tuesday hip-hop night, in 1977, featured Grandmaster Flash; Run-D.M.C. played their first show here; and Kurtis Blow said he came to see what the street liked. In 1983 Bill Adler wrote in People magazine that it was “the rap capital of the Solar System”, per Wikipedia.
