grandmaster flash

Joseph Saddler

was born on January 1, 1958 in Barbados
brought up in Bronx
and was named Flash in school
cause he hung around with another guy named Gordon.













"He became involved in the earliest New York DJ scene,
attending parties set up by early luminaries.
Flash played illegal parties
and also worked with rappers such as Kurtis Blow and Lovebug Starski.
He formed his own group in the late 1970s.
Soon gaining recognition for their skillful raps,
Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five pioneered MCing,
freestyle battles
and invented some of the staple phrases in MCing"
