Like the legendary El General, KRS One is a famous American rapper known for his Jamaican rapping style and association with the pioneering band Boogie Down Productions.
KRS One was born Lawrence “Kris” Parker on August 20, 1965. He grew up in the streets of America’s largest Co-Op city and home of the famous Yankees, Bronx, New York.
Lawrence Kris Parker was married twice. His first wife was Ramona Parker, a.k.a Ms. Melodie, from 1987-to 1992, and he later married his second wife, Simone Parker.
KRS One was fascinated by music from a very young age, so he decided to make a career. He initially followed the path of an MC, but Parker was homeless from age thirteen to twenty.
When KRS One met Scott Sterling (LaRock), things finally began to turn. KRS One and DJ Scott La Rock shared the same dream and decided to make something out of it.
