Corporation plans to mark genre's birthday in style
By Ben Cardew
RADIO ONE AND 1XTRA are joining forces for a raft of special programming in April to celebrate the 30th anniversary of hip-hop.
From this Friday (April 3) the two stations will air four days of dedicated programming marking three decades since the 1979 release of the Sugarhill Gang's Rapper's Delight - the first record to bring hip- hop to a mass audience.
1Xtra highlights include:
* Semtex presents How Hip-Hop Changed the World (April 3).
* Sarah Love presents How Women Rocked Hip-Hop (April 4).
