The PMISH Films production, Bronx 79 will highlight the beginning of an ever-evolving era. Hip Hop’s music history is at the fingertips of Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop authors, DJ Disco Wiz, Joe Conzo, and author Jeff Chang. In the newest documentary of our favorite music culture, viewers get a chance to see the “the definitive story,” according to FACT, via first-person interviews, original footage and photographs from the pioneers who started it all.

The trailer for Bronx 79 opens up with the fact that a city – Bronx – was failing and not in the best condition, however they built themselves up through the expression of hip-hop. “The Bronx, by the time you get to the ending of the sixties and beginning of the seventies, it’s an abandoned area,” says Chang. “You’ve got literally blocks upon blocks destroyed.”

There is no release date in-sight, but you know IFWT will be on the lookout.

While Bronx 79 is set from a more realisic view, The Get Down, an upcoming Netflix series, will follow a group of tight friendships who grow-up on the streets, only to survive them with hip hop. Less documentary, more television. Something like Steve Stoute’s The Tanning of America. It will be interesting to see how this perspectives will differ, although I can somewhat see already.
