KRS-One, the legendary figure in hip-hop, emerged onto the rap scene in 1986 with Boogie Down Productions, making an indelible mark with hits like “South Bronx.” Known as the “conscience of Hip Hop,” KRS-One has consistently championed the genre’s roots and principles, advocating for peace, love, unity, and authenticity amidst its commercialization.

With a career spanning over two decades, KRS-One has released 20 albums, penned groundbreaking books, and lectured at over 500 universities. He founded the Stop The Violence Movement, influenced anti-gang anthems, and established the Temple of Hip Hop for spiritual exploration.

Beyond his music, KRS-One’s teachings cover self-creation, non-violence, and cultural appreciation. His “I am Hip Hop” philosophy resonates deeply, emphasizing that hip-hop is not just a genre but a way of life.

Today, KRS-One continues to educate and inspire, sharing his wealth of knowledge through pop-up schools and lectures worldwide, ensuring the preservation and expansion of authentic hip-hop culture.
