Brooklyn’s in the House: Exploring The Borough’s Local Hip Hop History, Part 1

Raised in Crown Heights and active as a deejay since the late 1970s, DJ Clark Kent has been a key participant in several eras of hip hop, first making his name as Dana Dane’s deejay in the mid-1980s, then as a leading deejay in the seminal hip hop clubs Union Square and Latin Quarter. In the 1990s, serving both as a record producer and A&R executive, Clark played key roles in the careers of the Notorious BIG and Jay-Z. The Center for Brooklyn History joined him for this conversation about Brooklyn’s early hip hop contributions, moderated by Dr. Patrick Rivers and Dr. Will Fulton.
Recorded April 20, 2023.
