DJ Rockin’ Rob takes us to his old stomping grounds in the South Bronx. Rob and his Mean Machine Crew made a name for themselves by throwing jams. Clark Park, conveniently located on the corner of 143rd Street and 3rd Avenue, across from Rob’s family’s apartment, was the outdoor venue of choice. These street parties were often thrown without any permission from the city authorities, DJ’s had to steal electricity from lampposts and traffic lights to power their equipment. As you will see, many went to great lengths to keep the titles of their most prized records a secret. Rockin’ Rob is from the old school and here he tells his story.
