Playlist: The Very Best of KRS-One [PA] [Digipak]

Performer: KRS-One
Distributor: Sony BMG

Notes: Covering the Boogie Down Productions and solo releases issued through Jive, Playlist: The Very Best of KRS-One -- part of Sony distribution's extensive budget line featuring no-frills, eco-friendly packaging -- is aimed at casual fans. This doesn't even wrap up all the essential material from KRS' Jive era, but it's a decent sampler, with "I'm Still #1," "Jack of Spades," "Sound of da Police," "Love's Gonna Get'cha (Material Love)," and "My Philosophy" all included. ~ Andy Kellman

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.
