Spin It Social Hour with guest Joe Conzo Jr.


Listen Later

This morning on the Spin It Social Hour...classic Joe Conzo Jr., Born and Raised in The Bronx -- and lots of stories you will only hear right here! Coming of age as a young man and as a budding photographer in the mid-1970s, proved to be baptism by fire, during an unprecedented chapter of New York City urban decay. Joey was a part of a generation that had refused to be erased by corrupt politicians and a disparaging educational system. His talents had found their niche within the collective acts of defiance that boldly re-invented the very world that left them for dead. This socio-cultural movement would eventually be recognized in American History books as Hip Hop. The art, music, dance and aesthetics of his generation gave rise to a consciousness that defied authority and inspired personal battles against silence and hopelessness. Joe is also a retired New York Fire Department Emergency Medical Technician, and it was his role as an EMT that delivered him to the World Trade Center on the morning of 9/11. One of our heroes that thankfully survived 🙏 𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐄 𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐄 and come learn all about Joe's journey and his great work over the years.
