Snaps: KRS-One at the Jazz Cafe

There aren’t many, if any, MC’s that have been in the game for over 30 years and still perform with the same ferocity and intensity as Lawrence Parker aka KRS-One.

Prowling around the Jazz Cafe stage on Friday night with his giant frame, the crowd hanging off every word that he spat into the mic, you could tell that he hadn’t lost one iota of the burning passion that has been lit since 1985.

Sweating out of every pore, he went on extended freestyles, riffing off people in the crowd and also running through his deep reservoir of classic tunes.

James Kelly once again headed to north London to catch the man in full flow.
