Kurtis Blow Info 📰:
Kurtis Walker aka Kurtis Blow was born on August 9, 1959 in Harlem, New York. Kurtis Blow is the first commercially successful rapper and the first to sign with a major record label- Mercury Records. Kurtis Blow's song: "The Breaks", a single from his 1980 debut album: Kurtis Blow, is the first certified gold record rap song. Kurtis Blow got his first practice as a DJ in grade school, mingling with guests at his mother's parties to take their music requests. By the time he was 13, he had a fake ID and was sneaking into New York City clubs to hear DJs spin their tracks.
In 1975, Kurtis Blow enrolled in Harlem's High School of Music and Art, but was kicked out for selling marijuana. He transferred to another high school, where he was soon caught selling the psychedelic drug PCP. Recognizing Kurtis Blow's intelligence, the dean gave Kurtis Blow the chance to test for his General Equivalency Degree as an alternative to expulsion. Kurtis Blow passed his GED exam, and went on to study at New York's City College (CCNY).
While still a high school student, Kurtis Blow had begun spinning his own tracks under the name Kool DJ Kurt. By the end of the 1970s, like many other New York DJs, he had become disenchanted with the boring sameness of the music coming out of the clubs. "Everything merged into one colorless sea of sound", he recalled. "We, the deejays, had to do something to make our shows a little bit different ... a little unique". That unique new thing was rap. Blow started mixing his own rhymes with the beats on his turntable. "Pretty soon rap became an accepted thing, almost expected in fact", Kurtis Blow said, "and those clubs who had rappin' deejays started to pick up".
In 1979, at the age of twenty, Kurtis Blow became the first rapper to be signed by a major record label, Mercury Records, which released his debut song: Christmas Rappin'. It sold over 400,000 copies, becoming one of the first commercially successful hip hop singles. Its follow-up single: "The Breaks", sold over half a million copies. He released ten albums over the next eleven years. His first album was: Kurtis Blow (1980), while his second was the top 40 pop album: Deuce (1981). Kurtis Blow's album: Party Time (1982), featured a fusion of rap and go-go. His 1984 album: Ego Trip, included the hits singles: "8 Million Stories", "AJ Scratch" and "Basketball". His 1985 album: America, garnered praise for its title track's music video. From this album his classic song: "If I Ruled The World", became a top 5 hit on Billboard's R&B chart as well as appearing on the movie soundtrack for the 1985 film: Krush Groove, in which he performed the song in a scene from the movie.
By 1983, he had moved into music production as well. Besides his own musical work, Kurtis Blow has been responsible for hits by artists including: The Fat Boys and Run DMC. Run, from Run-DMC, began his career as Kurtis Blow's DJ billed as: 'The Son Of Kurtis Blow. Lovebug Starski, Full Force, Rob Base, Kool And The Gang, Nia Peebles, Trouble Funk, Oran "Juice" Jones, Warren G, De La Soul, The Lost Boyz and Wyclef Jean all have been produced by and/or collaborated with Kurtis Blow.
