  • A new three-part documentary series is examining the birth and evolution of hip house. Available now in the US via cable TV channel Xfinity, In Our DNA: Hip House explores the unique conditions in the '70s and '80s that saw hip-hop and house music collide. Fast Eddie, DJ Spen and Emmaculate are among those who feature. The premiere took place at Chicago's Vic Theatre on December 6th. "Show me a revolution in music, art and culture and I'll show you a society screaming to evolve," said In Our DNA: Hip House executive producer Keesha Boyd. "It's our hope to bring this rich history to new audiences who may not have been aware of this revolution in music." In Our DNA: Hip House is part of Black Experience, an Xfinity original documentary series showcasing Black talent and content creators. Watch the trailer.
