What started as a music genre took off to influence culture worldwide.

We spoke with Mister Cee, a producer and DJ credited with discovering legendary artists like Biggie Smalls, to help us take a look back.

He told us how hip-hop has changed over the past five decades, and walked us through what Audacy's 94.7 the Block has planned for the 50th anniversary. We also asked about his favorite artists and any future stars.
