What an absolute fantastic show starting with four independent artists: Pinx, Mellors, Teslanay and the Borderline Birdies. Such a great way to introduce my special guest Positive K.
Born August 8, 1967 and was raised in the Bronx, New York and spent much of his childhood near Richman (Echo) Park where early hip hop DJs Grandmaster Flash, DJ Sinbad and Busy Bee would throw block parties. He was inspired as a child to rap when one day The Fearless Four were performing in his neighborhood and invited him to say a rhyme on their mic. Gibson's first musical endeavor was a short-lived rap group with his family named Disco Cousins, and he rapped under the name Baby Breeze.
Later, while a member of the Five-Percent Nation, Gibson joined the rap group Almighty God Committee from Queens, rapping under the name Positive Knowledge Allah. However, after their DJ played the wrong side of a record at a televised rap contest and the rest of the group walked offstage, Gibson continued on as a solo act under the shortened name Positive K.
He shared his passion for Hip Hop and Rap music and said, "If you're born in the Bronx it's in your DNA" Positive K told me about his favourite songs like Cold Crush and Grand Master Flash and the Furious Five and what drew him to those songs. He also mentioned a ballad from Marvin Gaye "If I Should Die Tonight" and what it means to him.
He has gone from strength to strength and has shared three of his own songs for us to enjoy. So kick back and enjoy the show.
