When KRS-One first emerged onto the scene, he was part of a trio but member DJ Scott La Rock was murdered after Boogie Down Production’s debut album was released. In response to the killing of his friend, KRS-One started the Stop the Violence movement to restore one of the founding principles of hip-hop. In 1989 he recruited some big names in the rap community for the song “Self Destruction.” All of the proceeds from the sale of the single went to the National Urban League.
