Blige<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The museum plans are to be spearheaded by chairman of the board, Kurtis Blow,\u00a0Director Rocky Bucano, and Chairman of the Celebrity Board Chuck D and has received audible support from <a href=\"https:\/\/dancingastronaut.com\/tag\/nas\/\">Nas<\/a> and LL Cool J. Noteworthy donations primed to  appear in the museum include handwritten lyrics by <a href=\"https:\/\/dancingastronaut.com\/tag\/tupac\/\">Tupac<\/a> and Blow&#8217;s gold plaque for his song &#8220;The Breaks.&#8221; Other display items will feature thousands of vinyl and cassettes, turntables, a recording studio, and video projections of iconic local graffiti. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Construction plans for Universal Hip-Hop museum are currently in process, with a projected completion date of 2023.
