After attempts by community leaders, tenants and DJ Kool Herc
failed to keep the sale of 1520 Sedgwick Ave. in the South Bronx from
being brought via a lawsuit against the building’s landlord and his
group, Hip Hop's birthplace 1520 Sedgwick Avenue will be sold to real
estate developer Mark Karasick for an estimated $7.5 million as early
as next week.

Friday the State Supreme Court ruled against DJ Kool Herc and his
supporters in favor of greedy of developers in an all too familiar
scenario. Though Hip Hop's Eden no longer remains in it's essence, the
culture can never be brought.
