KRS, an acronym for “Knowledge Reigning Supreme”, has been called the “conscience of hip hop” ("Rolling Stone_), “the greatest live emcee ever” ("The Source_), the “spokesperson for hip hop” ("Wall Street Journal"), “master teacher” ("Zulu Nation") and the “son of hip hop” (Kool DJ Herc). With 20 published albums to his credit and his numerous appearances with other artists, KRS-One is believed to have written the most rhymes in hip hop’s history. In the 1990s as “hip-hop” grew more and more commercialized and corporate, it was KRS-One that openly rejected such cultural exploitation and materialism grounding hip hop in its original principles of peace, love, unity and safely having fun. Teaching everything from self-creation to stopping violence; from vegetarianism to transcendental meditation, from the establishment of Hip Hop Appreciation Week (every third week in May), to establishing hip hop as an international culture at the United Nations (2001), KRS-One has single-handedly held the history and original arts of hip hop together now for over two decades. See this living legend at the Howard Theatre in Washington, D.C.
