KOOL DJ RED ALERT:
Red Alert was how you learned about hip-hop growing up when the radio wasn't just for cars. His Hot 97 and Kiss 98.7 residencies remained the most prominent voice of the DJ's who were responsible for crafting hip-hop. An early developer of breaking and mixing, Red also ran the management team responsible for launching the careers of A Trible Called Quest and Queen Latifa among others.
