About KRS-One

Hometown

Bronx, NY, United States

Born

20. August 1965

Genre

Hip-Hop/Rap

KRS-One war der Chef der Boogie Down Productions, einer der einflussreichsten Hardcore- Hip-Hop-Bands der 80er. Am Höhepunkt seiner Laufbahn, ungefähr zwischen 1987-1990, war KRS-One für seine erbitterten politischen und sozialkritischen Raps bekannt. Zur Zeit des 1990er Edutainment wandte sich BDPs Publikum langsam ab, da vielen seiner Fans seine Raps zu missionarisch wurden. Als Reaktion begann KRS-One seine Straßenglaubwürdigkeit mit härteren und schlichteren Beats und Raps neu aufzubauen. Im Laufe der 90er Jahre sowie zu Beginn des neuen Jahrtausends veröffentlichte er eine Reihe Soloalben, die von gemischt bis stark reichten, u.a. das 1993er Return of the Boom Bap, 1997er I Got Next und 2006er Life. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

KRS-One has also released music as a member of 12:41, The S.T.O.P. Movement, Boogie Down Productions Soul Assassins.
