Hip Hop Icons Make the New York City 400


Russell Simmons, Grandmaster Flash, Sean "Diddy" Combs & Jay-Z (Shawn Carter) have made the NYC400 as chosen by the Museum of the City of New York.

The NYC400 is the first-ever list of New York City's ultimate movers and shakers since the City's founding—from politics, the arts, business, sports, science, and entertainment.

In commemoration of Henry Hudson's epic 1609 voyage into New York Harbor, the Museum is celebrating our City's 400th birthday by recognizing the people who have had the greatest impact and influence on the world's greatest city.

Our goal in creating the NYC 400 is to help educate the public about New York City's fascinating and dramatic history—its heritage of diversity, opportunity and perpetual transformation—by humanizing our amazing common story.
