Sound...

the early development of Hip Hop throughout the 1970s. Afrika
Bambaataa is one of the three main originators of break-beat
deeJjaying, and is respectfully known as the “Grandfather” and
“Godfather” and The Amen Ra of Universal Hip Hop Culture as well as
The Father of The Electro Funk Sound. Through his co-opting of the
street gang the Black Spades into the music and culture-oriented
Universal Zulu Nation, he is responsible for spreading rap and
hip-hop culture throughout the world. Like many of the early

***DJ RAP*** (Ministry of Sound / Propa / Impropa Talent, UK-LA)
Charissa Saverio, a.k.a. DJ RAP, has been the undisputed queen of
the turntables and voted the number one female DJ in the world for
the last 10 years! DJ Rap has infiltrated the music industry with
her arsenal of talent. She has established herself as the CEO of
her labels: Propa and Impropa Talent, developed her creative
direction as a full-fledged producer, and remains to be the
recording artist and DJ that everyone has come to love and love
dance to! She is also a classically trained pianist and song
writer, amongst many other talents! Rap has dominated such genres
as house and drum & bass. After waiting several years to be able to
re-record (not re-mix) the single, "Good To Be Alive - 2011", DJ
Rap was finally able to step into the studio to revive the track.
Originally, this single was released on the multi-platinum album
"Learning Curve", that was previously released on Sony Records. In
Summer 2011 the long awaited re-release of "Good to be Alive -
2011" launched! A new music video also accompanied the release. The
video captures the ever glamorous and beautiful DJ Rap, it is as if
she is ageless. Her voice is equally preserved and this is evident
in the newly recorded vocals heard on the track. "Good To Be
Alive", became known to us as an anthem following the original
release and to fans now and then, it still is. Rap has produced
music for play station, Wii, and 7 major movies. Examples of her
portfolio are evident in her work for Twix, Mission Impossible (Tom
Cruise), Isolation, Run Lola Run, Enough (J-lo), Rogue Trader (Ewan
McGregor) Multi-talented, accomplished, ambitious, and driven by
her passion to create and her love for music, DJ Rap is not a name
from music's past, it is the name of music now and an inspiration
to music's future.
