FUN FACT:

This past summer an 18ft tall Rappin Max Robot sculpture was created by Welder Underground to be put on display at the Hip Hop Museum in the Bronx. Next year it’ll be sent to Paris, France where it will live at the famous Place de la Bataille-de-Stalingrad as part of a gift celebrating the first time Breaking was included as a sport at The Olympics.

It made its debut back in November of this year in Cadman Plaza near Brooklyn borough hall. It will honor hip-hop culture in that space until April 2025 when it heads to permanent home in Paris.
