Gert Town's poverty-stricken neighborhoods helped create the foundation of Hip hop. From these neighborhoods arose Bounce DJs who represented the neighborhoods by calling out their names in specific songs. Hip hop brought fame to the area by representing the hope and desire Gert Town had for its communities, people, and its future as a historical area filled with musical culture. Bounce DJs, specifically "Partners 'N' Crime," had songs such as "New Orleans Block Party" that represented their communities they were from – one of them being Gert Town.
