Year 326 (CCCXXVI) was a common year starting on Saturday (link will display the full calendar) of the Julian calendar. At the time, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Constantinus and Constantinus (or, less frequently, year 1079 Ab urbe condita). The denomination 326 for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the Anno Domini calendar era became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years.

326 is also the name of an underground hip hop movement out of Southern California established in 1994 by a wild pack of multicultural high school kids to have an alternative route to the mass' of racially segregated social groups.These Afro American,Asian,Caucasian,& Hispanic kids broke the mold out of the stereo typical segregated ethnic groups that were predominate of Americas youth at the time.They all shared similar interest in the early blooming days of the Hip Hop Culture & dedicated themselves to the movement by competing in all 4 elements.The multicultural group branched out naturally not by race but by there interests of the 4 different elements of Hip Hop still linked by the 326 crue brand AKA The Down By Nature Crue or DBN(326). Artistic & Musical expression brought youth of all different races together at a time when a lot of racism was relevant. Divided by the segregated communities,gangs,sports,& local hang outs .These differences built a lot of racial tension & violence. 326 naturally organized into a hip hop family that offered a new lane for "anybody" into The Hip Hop Culture in that place in time.
