About Hip Hop Treasures
Led by LL COOL J and Ice T alongside field collectors and museum curators, the team tells the story of some of Hip Hop's greatest artists and the items they made famous such as The Notorious B.I.G.'s iconic jersey from the "Juicy" video, Flavor Flav's clocks, DMX's Aaliyah car, and more. This exclusive partnership between A&E, Pulse Films, LL COOL J's Rock The Bells and The Universal Hip Hop Museum honors these music legends and brings their items back to the birthplace of the culture, The Bronx.
