KRS-One first gained notoriety as the blastmaster behind Boogie
Down Productions — Bronx soldiers from hip-hop's late-'80s
golden age who, like Public Enemy, rendered their revolutionary
buffalo stance louder than a bomb. Since going solo, KRS-One has
proven to be one of rap's most unpredictable personalities —
like ODB inhabited by Noam Chomsky, in some moments he kicks true
knowledge, in others utter nonsense. But he's never boring, and
as a live performer, KRS-One is frequently unmatched, a veritable
shock-and-awe explosion of rat-a-tat edutainment. And should things
get slow — which is unlikely — he can always wheel
out BDP classics "South Bronx," "My Philosophy,"
"Stop The Violence," and "You Must Learn."
Opening the show is Radioactive, beat boxer from Spearhead and
DJ Coop Dville.
