The 10s | A Moment of Silence (RIP Scott La Rock)
25 Years ago today, August 27th the Hip Hop world lost the legendary Scott La Rock. For all you new jacks Scott was the original dj and co-founder of Boogie Down Productions with KRS-ONE.
Scott was a Social worker in a men's shelter in the Bronx where he met KRS-ONE. Its ironic and sad that Scott being a social worker was shot and killed while trying to help D-Nice squash a beef with another dude.
Scott had a huge hand along with Ultramagnetic's Ced Gee in putting together BDP's classic debut album "Criminal Minded". Scott was killed not long after the albums release while starting work on the groups second LP "By Any Means Necessary". R.I.P. Scott La Rock!!
Here is a classic mix courtesy of Upnorth Trips! Peace!
