DJ Red Alert:
FAVORITES
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Compiled by Tom Pryor
CDNOW Senior Editor, Hip-Hop
If there's one DJ whose career has embodied New York hip-hop it's the legendary Kool DJ Red Alert. From his decades-long tenures at New York's Kiss FM and Hot 97, Red has been the tastemaker who's nearly defined hip-hop. He was instrumental in the infamous battle between Queens' MC Shan and the Bronx's BDP and has broke acts as influential as Public Enemy and A Tribe Called Quest. As if that weren't enough, the man still makes his money the old-fashioned way -- spinning the one's and two's at clubs and parties. CDNOW took the occasion of the release of Red's Beats, Rhymes, and Battles, Vol. I compilation to find out his favorites.
