The story of the Furious 5This is the legendary true story of the origin's of hiphop and a group of guys who made it a household name and changed the music world forever !These Bronx natives were the first rap artists to win Grammy awards, guest star with R&B artists (Chaka Khan with Melle Mel on I Feel For You in 1984), first to inject social commentary into rap, plus the genre changing The Message in 1982. The first to endorse a political candidate with the song Jesse in 1984. The first to be inducted into the rock & roll hall of fame and the list goes on. Thats just the commercial side, after rap was released on records. Before rap was released on records they were the first to write full rhymes on the beat unlike the nursery style that many Djs were using at the time. The Furious 5s legendary Dj Grandmaster Flash was the first dj to scratch & cut, literally using the turntable as an instrument. The call & response technique, that is now a staple in rap live performances was pioneered by The Furious. The nucleus of the Furious 5 has 2 parts. Grandmaster Flashs need for an Emcee to entertain crowds while he did his turntable magic, and the chemistry that siblings Nathaniel and Melvin Glover had with composing rhymes. Keith Cowboy was the perfect fit for the Grandmaster Flash, with his call and response tactics, and his ability to control a crowd. Cowboy is regarded by many pioneers of the genre to be the first Emcee.The Glover siblings, better known as Kid Creole and Melle Mel, originated the back and forth style that Run DMC made popular. When Mel, Creole and Cowboy joined forces they were known as the 3 M.C.s, with Flash on the wheels. This was 1977 before anyone ever thought a rap record could be a reality. Mels childhood friend and break dancing partner Mr. Ness, aka Scorpio joined making the group the Furious 4. Rahiem from the Funky 4 was the last to join cementing the legendary Furious 5.  Grandmaster Flash & The Furious 5 recorded We Rap More Mellow for Brass records in 1979, and Super Rappin for Enjoy Records in the same year. The momentum picked up when the group signed with Sugar hill Records in 1980 and recorded Freedom. A string of classics such as Showdown, Its Nasty, The Message, White Lines, New York New York, Beat Street Breakdown and many more followed. Monetary disputes arose following The Message and the group split into two factions soon after. Flash took Rahiem and Kid Creole with him, and Melle Mel became Grandmaster Melle Mel, and took Cowboy & Scorpio. Neither faction rekindled the magic of the original group. In 1988 the original crew got together and signed with Elektra records. They released Gold and the full length LP On The Strength. Throughout the years various members have recorded several solo projects, and the Furious minus Flash reunited in 1990 and recorded the Piano LP. Unfortunately the Furious lost Cowboy in 1990. In 2007 Grandmaster Flash & The Furious 5 became the first ever rap group to be inducted into the rock & roll hall of fame! Today the Furious 5 still tour the world to the delight of a dedicated fan base.And to this very day they are the most respected and worldwide household name that still know how to rock the ground and tear up a stage like its paper and These legends really are what you see and more and Raporia Recordings are very proud to be friends with these truely awesome legends !Cowboy - gone but never forgotton r.i.p 1-LOVE------------------------------------
