LIVE IN BERKELEY KRS-ONE I don't think an introduction is necessary, but if you don't know who KRS One is, here you go. Born Kris Parker he was the leader of Boogie Down Productions, one of the most influential hardcore hip-hop outfits of the '80s. At the height of his career, roughly 1987-1990, KRS-One was known for his furiously political and socially conscious raps, which is the source of his nickname, "the Teacha." Come check him out Feb. 15th!! plus ROCKER T with DJ SMOKE ONE JAHI and the LIFE MAVRIK
