KRS-ONE – “Late Night” (Unreleased) [1993]

Yoooo! It’s “The Return Of The Boom Bap” … so to speak. DJ [my brother’s name is] Kenny Parker uploaded a jewel from 1993 for all the Interwebs to enjoy. This unreleased “Late Night” is the Blast Master going on and on with all the buzz and crackle that’ll make everyone who tried to rap back then reminisce. A treasure from the Golden Era that did not make “The Return…” LP.

“Angela Davis”
is the newness from Rah Digga rawwww! Cosign snip at the end by The Teacha KRS-ONE.

Y’all worry ’bout your stylist. Worry ’bout your talents… when did lyricism escape us?
Rah Digga

Message! They gone learn today! You can listen hard for shots fired if you want. But since Rah is pretty above board with her shots (ehem… duck Iggy, duck down!), spend the next spin (yeah, you gonna play this at least twice) listening hard for truth! Plenty in this joint.

Boogie Down Productions – “Duck Down” (Alternative Version)

Picture 1 

Not just a different beat, but the bonus verse makes the Alternative Version to KRS-ONE’s classic spit “Duck Down” for Boogie Down Productions all that and then some (90s slang for this Golden Era flip)! Got to give Unkut.com the credit for unearthing this gem…

‘More BDP action with this vinyl rip from Rob Pursey of Southern Hospitality. Apparently the UK pressing of the “Duck Down” 12″ features an alternative version of the Pal Joey produced track, despite being labeled as the “LP Version.” Sporting a looser deliver from KRS, an extra bassline and an extra verse going at X-Clan, which would later end-up as part of “Build and Destroy,” from the same LP. Was there some kind of fuck up and an early demo version of “Duck Down” was pressed up for the British audience, or did the Jive UK office just prefer this version? Regardless, it’s more greatness from the third best BDP album, and therefore essential listening.’

KRS-ONE Gives His Views On 9-11, Hip-Hop’s Great Ones and More (Video)

Whether they agree with him or not, most would agree that the ‘Kris’ (KRS-ONE) articulates his positions on even the most controversial topics plainly…when given the chance. Surfing the ‘Tube (YouTube), I found this Vlad-TV clip (above) in which KRS-ONE clarifies comments he made soon after 9/11 to The New Yorker magazine that were were taken out of context. KRS-ONE also talks about today’s Hip-Hop, battles, and his respect for the rap greats.

KRS-ONE – “Disaster Kit” (Video)

While most rap artists in NY are still talking about “B*tches & Bottles” & flashing money in their music videos following the Superstorm Sandy disaster, KRS-ONE drops this very dope banger to remind people to always be prepared in the event of a major emergency. This new joint “Disaster Kit” is not on a dope song, but it’s a step by step audio preparedness record to pay attention to protect yourself & your family. When a major disaster hits money alone may not get you anywhere depending on the circumstances. The song will appear on KRS-ONE’s upcoming mixtape “Just Passing Through” due on Thanksgiving that will be an appetizer before he drops what will be his 20th album “JUST LIKE THAT” produced By MAD LION in early 2013.

This is very informative interview with KRS-ONE recorded by the team over at DJPremierBlog. The Blastmaster KRS-ONE explains in detail about how he viewed his career was over in 1992 following his business separation with Jive records.

KRS-ONE – “Just Like That” (Video)


I was just talking to a friend of mine the other day about how KRS-ONE had been missing on the ‘media radar’ for a little minute & “Just Like That” he turns up with a new video for what will be his 20th studio album entitled “Just Like That” due in 2012. The song & video was produced by Mad Lion who himself has been on the low as well these days & probably just ‘Takin It Easy’. Peace, Love, Unity, & Having fun….these are the lyrics of KRS-ONE!
