Kool DJ Red Alert Statue in New York, New York

‘YEAA-a-a-a-a-ah!’, a tribute to Kool DJ Red Alert’ - As part of Harlem Sculpture Garden 2024 public art installation, this Sustainable Sonic Statue is a celebration of Kool DJ Red Alert and Harlem’s contribution to Hip Hop Culture. Kool DJ Red Alert is a Harlem based legendary Hip Hop DJ, whose contribution to Hip Hop is spans over 40 years and into its now 50th anniversary. Red Alert grew up in Harlem during Hip Hop’s infancy and attended parties hosted by the father of Hip Hop, DJ Kool Herc, and many other early Hip Hop contributors. The influence of these early Hip Hop luminaries steered Red Alert into the art of blending records on turntables to keep party goers dancing and later led to his disc jockey gig at 98.7 Kiss FM and WBLS.
