KRS-One – KRS ONE

Lawrence “Kris” Parker (born August 20, 1965), better known by his stage names KRS-One, is an American rapper and occasional producer from Bronx, New York. He rose to prominence as part of the hip hop music group Boogie Down Productions, which he formed with DJ Scott La Rock in the mid-1980s. Unfortunately, following the release of the group’s debut album, Criminal Minded, fellow artist Scott La Rock was shot and killed, but KRS-One continued the group, effectively as a solo project. He began releasing records under his own name in 1993. He is politically active, having started the Stop the Violence Movement after Scott’s death. He’s also a vegan activist, expressed in songs such as “Beef”. He is widely considered as an influence to many well known hip hop artists, including 2Pac and Eminem. KRS-One is his eponymous second album released in 2015.
