Bronx Half-Marathon Soundtrack

From jazz and hip-hop to mambo and doo-wap, the Bronx is, and has been, both the flint and flame of the country’s musical wildfire.   All the artists featured at the start line and finish line of the Bronx Half Marathon have been influenced by their time in the Bronx.  The soundtrack below takes you on a journey through the Bronx from the 1950s through present day. We hope you enjoy listening to these tracks while you lay down tracks of your own in the Boogie Down.
