Liner Note Author: Jeffrey Collins. Fresh of his critically acclaimed 2007 collabo with Marley Marl, the teacher is back with his 12th solo album, ADVENTURES IN EMCEEIN'. More of a compilation album of recent material than a new project, ADVENTURES IN EMCEEIN' features 20 never-before-heard tracks recorded between 2004 and 2007. Lyrically, Kris touches on a range of contemporary issues and collaborates with a handful of fellow conscious rappers including Chuck D, Dwayne da Rock, Peedo, S-Five, Non-Stop, and MC Lyte. Nas, Rakim, and Just Blaze also appear on spoken-word interludes to give shouts to the Blast Master.
Kris "KRS-One" Parker was the driving force behind the group Boogie Down Productions, purveyors of a politically conscious rap style dubbed Edutainment. KRS-One, which stands for Knowledge Reigns Supreme, began his solo career with 1993's RETURN OF THE BOOM BAP, and devoted himself to defining, promoting, and preserving the true spirit of hip-hop. (The Blastmaster even went so far as to start the Zulu Nation-esque Temple of Hip-Hop Kulture in the late 1990s.) Though controversial, and occasionally inconsistent in his politics, KRS-One remains one of the most respected and sought-after MCs ever.
