Donald D. Lecture About His History in Hip Hop. V1 Festival 2018 |
![]() |
Donald-D came into hip hop as a b-boy breaking on the streets of the Bronx. While growing up, and playing basketball at the local Boys & Girls club he met a DJ named Rashid, along with rhyme partner Easy AD who would later become a member of the Cold Crush Brothers started their own crew the As Salaam Brothers. They would play house parties & a few out door jams before they decided they wanted to go big time, and while walking down the street one day they met DJ Kool Herc.
Donald asked Herc, could they play with him, and he invited them to rock with him at a club called the Sparkle, but before the party could take place the club burnt down. After the As Salaam Brothers broke up Donald-D became a member of the Universal Zulu Nation when he joined forces with DJ Afrika Islam, DJ Jazzy Jay, DJ Superman, and 3 The Hard Way MC’s Kid Vicious & El Jay as the group The Funk Machine. They would go on to become one of the best hip hop crews around in that time period mainly known for their routines & Donald-D story telling rhymes. Islam & Jazzy Jay would be the first DJ’s to do mixing & scratching routines together on the turntables. V1 BATTLE: FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/groups/15107...
