Yonkers: The Lost City of Hip Hop

Jerome Enders, who grew up in Yonkers, has recently written a book that argues that Yonkers was a significant contributor to the birth of hip-hop.

Enders, who was known as Raw Rome back in the day, has put together his and others recollections of the early rap scene in Yonkers. He interviews characters such as Slimy Slim, Easy-E, and Kato to get a good sense of the 1970's and the birth of HipHop.

Enders whose break-dancing cousin introduced him to the scene and later became a dj at parties, has written an account of the era that tells the untold story of Yonkers and the birth of hip hop.
