In addition to physical artifacts, the auction will also offer unique hip-hop experiences to bid on, such as a virtual wine tasting with Big Daddy Kane or a private writing lesson and studio session with The God MC Rakim Allah.

Since the auction is meant to celebrate hip-hop's history and cultural impact, a portion of the proceeds that Sotheby's makes will be donated to Building Beats — a non-profit organization that offers DJ programs to low-income youth in New York — along two Queens Public Library Foundation programs coordinated by music video director and DJ, Ralph McDaniels.
