Company Info

Hush Tours has developed a one-of-a-kind, hands-on retrospective of the legendary voices of hip-hop. Defying the occasional negativity surrounding the new generation of this genre, founder of Hush Tours, Debra Harris focuses on the beginnings and the history of a movement that began 33 years ago; " Fans of the original hip hop movement grew up in the 1970's when the musical focus was on singing and harmonizing. The movement and study of hip-hop brought precision, timing, and expertise to a new generation of followers that would pave the way for a whole new and lasting rhythm and movement."

Hip-hop's origins have been a resounding influence on the fashion and media businesses, which you see and get to actively celebrate on the Hush Tours trip. "H'us'h Tours stands for the 'us' in hip-hop", Debra explains. "We live the hip-hop culture and I felt it was extremely important to give our youth both nationally and internationally a place to learn about the beginnings of the culture, while at the same time enabling our original hip-hop fans to reflect on year's past". We are proud to have launched the Queens Bridge & Hollis Rap Tour focusing on past and present day Rap.

There are numerous positive contributions hip-hop has made in the entertainment industry and no organization has specifically linked the beginnings of this movement in this kind of interactive and yet totally comprehensive way. And so the birth of a bus ride concept like no other.

After the tour we anticipate, our clients will see Hip Hop as well as the outer boroughs in a different and positive light. Hush Tours orchestrates its tour using the original and greatest of hip-hop artists on the bus. I've been fortunate to be able to involve and work with the Living Legends as I set forth a way to preserve the sounds and history of hip-hop in New York City & America.

Read what people are saying about us:

“A rap ride through Harlem that blends details of history with a kind of 'E! True Hollywood Story' drama."
- Ylonda Gault Caviness, NY Times, July 29, 2004

Right now, ‘cultural heritage tourism’ is what people want, they don’t want to go from attraction to attraction – they want a ‘genuine, authentic experience’ that absolutely submerges them in the culture. This is exactly what HusH Tours delivers.”
- Doris Quinones, Dir. of the Bronx Tourism Council, Daily News, May 2003

“It’s the wheel deal for rap fans.”
- Daily News, May 6, 2003

“Hear the story first hand. Experience old school esoterically and get an education in hip-hop’s 4 core elements; Rapping, DJing, Graffiti Art, & Break-dancing, only on Hush Tours.”
- New York Newsday, 2003

“Join celebrity guides as you tour the historical hotspots that helped shape rap music – a must experience.”
- Associated Press International, 2003

“Hush Tours offers a totally cool 4 hour sightseeing tour that relives the roots of New York’s hip-hop scene. The tour is interactive with hip-hop trivia and free-styling karaoke for anyone to volunteer to rap with the Stars.”
- Toronto Star, June 2003

“Learning about hip-hop’s history is especially important now when the genre is plagued by incidents of violence and controversy – learning the roots will help make things better... You can’t know where you’re going unless you know where you’ve come from says celebrity rapper, LA Sunshine. If you’re going to call yourself part of the hip-hop culture you’ve got to know the true essence of it…where it originated from…. this is what Hush Tours does.”
- The World From The Hip-hop Perspective, Davey D., June 2003
