DJ Kenny Parker has shared this recording of a Boogie Down Productions show at Brixton Academy, 1990. Highlights include the freestyle session where KRS kicks some rhymes that would appear on later albums. Also, it’s my birthday today so I’m off to drink some RAER whiskey and whatnot.
Incredible. I went to the Hummingbird the week after that BDP show on the advert – it was Public Enemy with 3rd Bass.
dope. krs-one ripping it in his prime, a real treat.
Thanks Kenny P! Your brother is the GREATEST RAPPER of ALL TIME! And you guys MASTERED the art and science of the live show!
I see that your Live Hardcore Worldwide album [1st live hip hop album] was put together from this tour. I’m glad to hear the stuff that wasn’t on the record. Peace to your whole crew. And RIP to MS. MELODY!
