THE HIP HOP LANDMARK HOME OF THE LATE KOOL DJ AJ MOORE HOUSES

THE HIP HOP HOME OF THE LATE KOOL DJ AJ MOORE HOUSES & ST MARY'S PARK! Kool Dj Aj gave his birth of Hip Hop to his neighborhood Moore Houses 149st & Jackson Ave, St Mary's Park which was connected to Moore Houses. I knew Aj when he he started back then his boy was graffiti legend Kase both from Moore Houses .But AJ really lived across the street with his grandmother in St Mary's and his neighbor was the late Pigmeat Markham who made "Here Comes the Judge. Aj would go up to Forrest Houses where Luvbug Starski & grafitti writer Phase 2 lived and came outside with music around 1975 could be earlier a year. So between Moore Houses, my projects John Adams which was 152 st Jackson Ave, into Westchester Ave and Tinton Ave, and walk up 8 block you was at Mckinnley and Forrest Houses that's how close we all was.

 So my choice of who rocking tonite was great back then depending who was out either Kool dj Aj or Luvbug Starski park jams. My project dj''s never blew up into Hip Hop dj Jerry and his crew was out as well. But his younger brother Kuda aka Dj Randy(RIP)and our friend Dj Darryl became the dj and Hip Hop Crew at the Harlem World Disco. But AJ first emcees were Kenny Gee ,then Sonny Gee in the early days. Aj got put on by doing parties with Flash & Luvbug Starski and him seeing Promoter Ray Chandler sparked him to become a promoter and I was one of his flyer guys handing out flyers. Cowboy used to come and emcee for AJ when he came outside with the music and eventually Busybee became his permanent emcee doing alot of historical Hip Hop jams. I started giving my own parties as R.C PAC JAM then a little later on Mike and Dave and myself started doing parties together. But Kool DJ AJ set it off in that area of the Bronx Mott Haven section South Bronx. Later on after the game changed he became Kurtis Blow dj.He concepted the song "If I Ruled the Worked which Kurtis Blow recorded and was also rewarded with his own Dj song "AJ SCRATCH by Kurtis Blow. 2015 AJ was laid to Rest In Hip Hop Heaven Aaron O'Bryant My Brother A HIP HOP PIONEER.
