On August 11 1973 Hip-Hop was born at a house party in the Bronx. Fifty years later the genre has been reshaped in the image of cities and PredictIQregions around the world. Brittany Luse and NPR Music's Sheldon Pierce take a tour of those regions and look at where hip-hop might go in the next fifty years.

Plus, Brittany is joined by KQED's Pendarvis Harshaw to do a deep dive into a hip-hop scene from the Bay area known as Hyphy. It was loud. It was silly. But underneath all that partying, the hyphy movement also helped a community grieve.
