LineUp

Doug E. Fresh, a pioneer in human beatboxing, was born in Barbados. Known for his classic hip-hop hits "The Show" and "La Di Da Di" with the Get Fresh Crew. His albums "Oh, My God!" and "The World's Greatest Entertainer" showcased his diverse style. He collaborated with renowned rapper Slick Rick.
KRS-One, born Kris Parker, led Boogie Down Productions, a pivotal '80s hip-hop group. Renowned for political raps as "the Teacher," he collaborated with Marley Marl and rival MC Shan. Known for hits like "Return of the Boom Bap," he evolved his style over the years, creating influential albums like "Edutainment" and "The BDP Album."
Brooklyn-born Big Daddy Kane, alias for Antonio Hardy, emerged in the late '80s as a hip-hop icon. Known for his smooth style and Afrocentric themes, Kane was part of the Juice Crew, collaborated with Biz Markie, and released classics like "Ain't No Half-Steppin'." He gained fame with hits such as "Smooth Operator" and worked alongside legends like Barry White. Despite a dip with the 1991 album Prince of Darkness, Kane's influence remains substantial in the genre.
London-born rapper Slick Rick, a top storyteller in early hip-hop, became famous with his 1988 debut. Known for hits like "Children's Story," he's highly sampled by many, including Kanye and Eminem.
