If you can, please contribute something to the cause. Not only is Herc the father of Hip Hop culture, he's also a good dude who could use our support. > During the latest [Live From Headqcourterz](http://www.djpremierblog.com/2011/01/30/live-from-headqcourterz-01282011/) show, Premo let the people know that the Father of Hip-Hop, DJ**Kool** **Herc** is currently hospitalized. While information is slim on the exact details, it is known that he will be needing surgery, and being that he does not have access to health insurance, Premo and the [rest](http://twitter.com/#!/RAtheRuggedMan/statuses/31800326738673664) of the [Hip-Hop](http://twitter.com/#!/MrChuckD/status/31817485481156608) [community](http://twitter.com/#!/DJTONYTOUCH/status/31796704055402496) is asking anyone who is willing and able to help out financially. Premo summed it nicely when he stated: > > “We actually have a father of a culture that still lives, where in some cultures, you know, they already dead and gone, even though they may still be worshiped or reflected on in some type of way.” > > For those in NYC, Tony Toca will be holding a collection for donations at Sutra this Tuesday. Those not in the Tri-State area can send their donations to: > > **Kool** **Herc** Productions > PO Box 20472 > Huntington Station, NY 11746 ### Written by [Andy Pitre](https://blog.a3cfestival.com/list/author/andy-pitre) Topics: [News](https://blog.a3cfestival.com/list/topic/news) ### Subscribe to Email Updates ![A3C_15_BADGE_STROKE_BLK@3x](https://blog.a3cfestival.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Logo%202019/A3C_15_BADGE_STROKE_BLK@3x.png?width=350&name=A3C_15_BADGE_STROKE_BLK@3x.png)   ![banner-acid-pro-next-300x300](https://blog.a3cfestival.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Flyers%20-%20Posters/banner-acid-pro-next-300x300.png?width=300&name=banner-acid-pro-next-300x300.png)     ### Featured Posts ### Suggested Posts - A3C - [The Artist Center](https://www.a3cfestival.com/artistcenter) - [The Studio](https://www.a3cfestival.com/studio) - [Creator Complex](https://www.a3cfestival.com/creator-complex) - [Artist Guide](https://www.a3cfestival.com/artist-guide) - [Host Hotel](https://www.ihg.com/hotelindigo/hotels/us/en/find-hotels/hotel/rooms?qDest=230+Peachtree+Street+NE%2C+Atlanta%2C+GA%2C+US&qCiMy=92019&qCiD=8&qCoMy=92019&qCoD=14&qAdlt=1&qChld=0&qRms=1&qRtP=6CBARC&qIta=99801505&qGrpCd=ATC&qSlH=ATLID&qAkamaiCC=US&qSrt=sBR&qBrs=re.ic.in.vn.cp.vx.hi.ex.rs.cv.sb.cw.ma.ul.ki.va&qAAR=6CBARC&qWch=0&qSmP=1&setPMCookies=true&qRad=30&qRdU=mi&srb_u=1&icdv=99801505&__hstc=97734592.ac5da2eda2592925768ef94273ff3219.1498146208812.1561469063428.1561562833685.1852&__hssc=97734592.1.1561575968691&__hsfp=2707452779&hsCtaTracking=2b1f9477-bed8-49ed-9119-47e0922bdf8a%7Cd96ac07d-43a7-4442-9040-c64f5b89250a) - [News](https://blog.a3cfestival.com) - Connect - [App](https://www.a3cfestival.com/app) - [Twitter](http://twitter.com/a3c) - [Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/a3cfestival) - [YouTube](http://www.youtube.com/user/A3CFest) - [Instagram](https://instagram.com/a3cfestival/) - INDEX - [Partnership Opportunities](https://www.a3cfestival.com/partner) - [Submit to Perform](https://www.a3cfestival.com/perform) - [Speaker & Mentor Applications](https://www.a3cfestival.com/speaker-mentor-applications) - [Submit an Event or Show](https://www.a3cfestival.com/showcase-submission) - [Submit a Panel or Session](https://www.a3cfestival.com/conference-submissions) - [Intern/Volunteer](https://www.a3cfestival.com/volunteer) - [Media Request](https://www.a3cfestival.com/media-passes) - [Privacy Policy](https://www.a3cfestival.com/privacy-policy) [Download the A3C Mobile App for ** and **](https://blog.a3cfestival.com/app)[**](https://blog.a3cfestival.com/) ## Are You Coming to the A3C Festival? ### Don't miss Atlanta's biggest Hip-Hop event of the year in downtown Atlanta on October 6-7.
