Stop the Violence Movement
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Stop the Violence Movement was formed by rapper KRS-One.
During a Boogie Down Productions and Public Enemy concert, a young fan was killed in a fight; galvanized into action, KRS-One founded the Stop the Violence Movement. Comprised of some of the biggest stars in contemporary East Coast hip-hop, the movement released a single ('Self Destruction') in 1989 with all proceeds going to the National Urban League.[1]
'Self-Destruction' was produced by KRS-One and D-Nice of Boogie Down Productions, and featured:
- Boogie Down Productions (KRS-One, D-Nice & Ms. Melodie)
- Stetsasonic (Delite, Daddy O, Wise (DJ) & Frukwan)
- Kool Moe Dee
- MC Lyte
- Doug E. Fresh
- Just-Ice
