Chris Druce, online news editor

Oh missus! Well this is the brave new world of the Caterer Blog and I, for my sins, am the online news editor, which on good days means I co-ordinate the news coverage for CatererSearch, write a fair few stories and produce newsletters, such as the Friday Wrap.

I've been knocking around Caterer for a number of years, initially covering the areas of careers and recruitment and most recently working as a reporter covering the pub and bar industry (yes I like a drink).

New Year and a new challenge means that I've taken on a new news beat, foodservice, and will be trying to get my head around ingredient spend, schools meal uptake and fixed price contracts.

Jamie Oliver lovers look away now.

Hip-hop as a musical form began among the youth of South Bronx, New York in the mid- 1970’s. Individuals such Kool Herc and Grandmaster Flash were some of the early pioneers of this art form. Through their performances at clubs and promotion of the music, hip-hop consistently gained in popularity throughout the rest of the 1970’s. The first commercial success for hip-hop was a song “Rapper's Delight” by the Sugar Hill Gang in 1979. This helped bring hip-hop into the national spotlight. The 1980’s saw the continued success of hip-hop with many artists such as Run DMC (who had the first rap album to go gold in 1984), L.L. Cool J, Fat Boys, and west coast rappers Ice-T and N.W.A becoming popular. Today, in the late 1990’s rap music continues to be a prominent and important aspect of African- American culture. Hip-hop was a way for youths in black inner city neighborhoods to express what they were feeling, seeing, and living and it became a form of entertainment.
