New York Ricans from the hip hop zone
New York Puerto Ricans have been an integral part of hip hop culture since day one: from 1970s pioneers like Rock Steady Crew's Jo-Jo, to recent rap mega-stars Big Punisher (R.I.P.) and Angie Martinez. Through hip hop, Puerto Ricans have simply stretched the boundaries of Puerto Ricanness and latinidad.
