New York Gives $3.5 Million to Help Build Hip-Hop Museum in the Bronx

Reports surfaced noting that the Universal Hip-Hop Museum that is in progress received a donation from the State of New York for $3.5 million.

The news surfaced via Rocky Bucano—the executive director of The Universal Hip Hop Museum, who said: “The grant from Governor Andrew Cuomo is a testament to the cultural and economic development importance of the Universal Hip Hop Museum to the borough of the Bronx and the state of New York.” Bucano also said “The museum is part of the renaissance of the Bronx. The Bronx is coming back. But the museum will be of the people and for the people.”

Bucano noted that the museum will mirror what the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame did for Cleveland.
