The culture of the Bronx at that time greatly influenced Rosen, who went on to publish several books about New York City in the 1970s and 1980s under her imprint, Miss Rosen Editions, with powerHouse Books including the legendary hip-hop epic, Wild Style by Charles Ahearn (2007), "Do Not Give Way to Evil: Photographs of the South Bronx, 1979–1987" by Lisa Kahane (2008), "It’s Just Begun: The Epic Journey of DJ Disco Wiz, Hip Hop’s First Latino DJ" by Ivan Sanchez and DJ Disco Wiz (2009), "Vandal Squad: Inside the New York City Transit Police Department, 1984–2004" by Joseph Rivera (2008), and "New York State of Mind" by Martha Cooper (2007) Growing up in New York City in the 1970s and 1980s inspired Rosen to curate "That 70s Show: New York City in the 1970s", a 50-artist exhibition at The powerHouse Arena, Brooklyn, in March 2007 and edit an edition of power House.
Emceed by Toni Blackman of New York, and featuring music spun by DJ Sparkles of Philadelphia, We B*Girlz showcased a 3-on-3 battle between four crews: Fox Force Five of New York City; Natural Born Killahz of New Jersey; Style Comes First of Philadelphia; and Flowzaic of London.
There were also performances by popper/locker Rowdy of Flowzaic as well as a group show by members of Keep Risin’ to the Tops, a dance troupe based in Spanish Harlem.
