Hip-hop, a culture that has spread across the world, turned 50 this year.
To celebrate the anniversary, CBC host and producer Nantali Indongo linked up with some key figures of Montreal's hip-hop scene for a special live edition of The Bridge this Saturday.
She sat down with DJ Kwite Sane, dancer and choreographer Spicey, emcee, graffiti artist and barber Mizery and from Zero Tolerance, emcee and A&R Chuck Ice.
The guests reflected on hip-hop's cultural impact in Montreal and how it exploded in the 90s — especially in the English-speaking pockets of the city.
