Hip-hop got its start in New York City during the 1970s. DJs would play at block parties where young people were hanging out. The DJs began experimenting with different sounds. They added longer rhythm breaks to songs. This got people on the dance floor. Some DJs made up their own rhymes to go with the new beats. The trend caught on. In 1979, the Sugarhill Gang released the first hip-hop record. It was called "Rappers Delight." Hip-hop was now heard all around the country.
