KRS-One
A nostalgic, gritty bronx hip hop night.
KRS-One, born Kris Parker, was the leader of Boogie Down Productions, one of the most influential hardcore hip-hop outfits of the 1980s. At the height of his career, he was known for his furiously political and socially conscious raps, earning him the nickname 'The Teacher'. KRS-One has famously described his work as rebellious music rather than gangster music, positioning himself as a manifestation of hip hop culture itself. His powerful influence on the genre is evident in how frequently his songs are sampled by other artists, often forming the basis for new hit records.
