Kool DJ Red Alert

... hearing it and just, it just continued to spark your interest.

Because we all grew up obviously hearing Planet Rock and hearing, you know, Zulu Nation mentioned, but hearing this new sound on this level, and then, you know, you, you do the research now and you see why Q-Tip was mentioning it, the influence from Red Alert, who's Zulu, the, the, the beat involved.

Right, yeah, Mike-

A true gentleman.

Um, and, you know, I just wanna say that, like, him, right, being influenced by Muhammad Islam, Baby Chris, who ...

You know, AKA Chris Lighty, who is the founder of Violators, who is from Bronx forever, who is Zulu, right, the Jazzy Jay connections, the Red Alert connections.

Magic.
