Bio/Notes: Celebrating nearly 30 Years of HIP HOP FIRSTS!!! Kurtis Blow’s Firsts: First rapper to sign to a Major label First certified gold record for rap (The Breaks) First rapper to tour US & Europe (w/ The Commodores, 1980) First rapper to record a national commercial (Sprite) First rapper to use the drum machine, sample & sample loop First rap music video (Basketball, way before Kanye West) First rap producer (Rap’s producer of the year in 1983) First rapper featured in a soap opera (One Life to Live) First rap millionaire (Before Diddy, Lil Wayne, Jay Z, 50 Cent). Kurtis Blow, one of the founders and creators of recorded rap, stands as an emerging leader in a new generation of Christian rappers with street sense, socal criticism and commercial saavy. In 1979, Kurtis Blow became the first rapper to be signed to a major label (Mercury). As a timeless artist and hip-hop legend, Kurtis has been instrumental in raising up a generation of of MC’s by carring the torch for Hip-Hop music into new arenas. Kurtis helped legitimize Hip-Hop and, now he intends to help redeem it. He speaks out emphatically again racism. His raps, with cinematic sensibilities open the world’s eyes and ears to inner-city truth. Kurtis along with fellow rappers, Ricky B. and Chris Flow have created a rap super group in THE TRINITY. Their message is to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ and bring peace to the streets. Watch out for their debut album, and Kurtis’ first released album in over a decade titled “Just Do It” soon!!! |
