::: KRS-ONE :::

 
::: INFO :::

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 "My Philosophy," "Stop The Violence," and "You Must Learn."

Last week, KRS-One was tributed on the "Hip Hop Honors" awards show on VH-1. Fat Joe led an inspired performance tributing KRS with a cover of the original BDP classic "South Bronx".

Opening the show are short sets from an array of talented hip-hoppers, including mind-blowing beatboxer Kid Beyond, conscious rap from Ishues, Piseas and moving neo soul from Jennifer Johns. DJ Malachi on the wheels of steel.
