Hip-Hop has saved a lot of lives and helped out a lot of people worldwide. Now it’s our chance to give back to the founder of this entire culture.

This weekend it was sadly announced by DJ Premier that DJ Kool Herc is hospitalised, and whilst details were kept to a minimum, it is known that he requires surgery and does not have access to health insurance. DJ Premier is asking that anyone willing and able to contribute financially to help the father of the culture does so, in whatever way they can.

For those in the New York area Tony Toca will be holding a collection for donations at Sutra this Tuesday.

For those elsewhere in the US donations can be sent to:

Kool Herc Productions
PO Box 20472
Huntington Station, NY 11746

Those of us outside of the US can send Paypal donations to this provided email address (Kool Herc’s sister) cindycampbell1@aol.com
