 If you're new here? 
Allow me to give you a concise music history of KRS ONE.

In 1987 KRS ONE and DJ Scott La Rock teamed up as a group called Boogie Down Productions and produced Criminal Minded one of the first and the best "Gangster Rap LP" EVER.

After the untimely murder of DJ Scott La Rock...KRS ONE proceeded to become one of the greatest voices for change, peace, health and humanity in the music world. 
His name should be mentioned with Marvin Gaye, Gil Scott Heron and Nina Simone. In fact when it comes to hip hop the only other name that should be mentioned with his is Chuck D of Public Enemy.

None of that is news. Just an update for those that are new here!

Now The Good News! On December 21st 2020 KRS ONE is dropping a new project called 
BETWEEN DA PROTESTS.
He has already has given us 2 new instant classic singles from Between Sa Protest to add to his other classics
"Stop The Violence"  "Heal Yourself" "Poetry" "Illegal Business" and the rest of the great music he's birthed since 1987.

I have not heard the whole LP , Between Da Protests yet but let me say this.

KRS ONE was on top of the world when Black Music had 4 seasons ...which were SUMMER , Summer's Over, Not Summer and Summer's Coming.

Today KRS One steps back up to the mic where now because of Covid season's mean nothing.

However, KRS ONE has always been speaking to  4 audiences which were and still are...
The Informed, The Un-Informed, The Scared and The Not Scared.
As someone who loves hip hop and KRS One I am enjoying his current music and cant wait to hear what he's got to say next.

Don't Fall For It!

There comes a time in every MC's year when you have to just step to the mic whether it be on stage , in a booth or the invisible mic of the cypher and flow over dope beats.

With  the theme of waking up and getting your head together. KRS ONE COMES HARD!

With the secondary them of " KRS is INCREDIBLE" KRS IS PRETTY INCREDIBLE.

DON'T FALL FOR IT 
Is Classic Hip Hop made for the MC's whose hip hop uniforms do not include alcohol, expensive jewelry, women as props or bragging that cash makes you rich.

After watching the video I breathed a great exhale. It's nice to see an MC approach hip hop as an artform and not just a way to commercialize struggle, pain and talent.



BLACK BLACK BLACK


As a poet...I'm kind of glad KRS One is not a spoken word artist.
However, when you hear Black Black Black.
You realize.
If he wants to be?
KRS can definitely do a number on poetry and spoken word like he's done on hip hop.
This video is a 2 piece of 1990's style Hip Hop Black Power and the use of call and response more in line with spoken word then traditional hip hop.
What ensues is a merger or as we say in the homes (I'm too old for the streets "Son" )...A WIN/WIN.

You can and should support BETWEEN DA PROTEST as it should be available where ever you buy music today.
