Clive Campbell also known as Kool Herc born in Kingston, Jamacia on April 16, 1955.

He moved to the Bronx in 1967, at the age of twelve.

His favorite Artist was James Brown, that who inspired him to sing.

Example of his ryhmes;  "Ya rock and ya don't stop
and this is the sounds of DJ Kool Herc and the Sound System and
you're listening to the sounds of what we call the Herculoids.
He was born in an orphanage
he fought like a slave
f@%*in' up fa#$%^* all the Herculoids played
when it come to push come to shove
the Herculoids won't budge
The bass is so low you can't get under it
the high is so high you can't get over it
So in other words be with it.."
