Grandmaster Flash's Biography
On March 3rd 2009, legendary hip hop pioneer Grandmaster Flash releases The Bridge on Adrenaline Entertainment via Strut, his first high profile studio album since his final recordings for Elektra in 1987. “As a DJ, I’ve been blessed to see many different people, places and styles. The album title represents all the bridges I’ve crossed worldwide,” explains Flash. “The bridges of time, cultures and colour, the bridges of hip hop, funk, pop, rock, jazz, punk, disco and R&B.”
Recorded at Flash’s own Adrenaline Lab studio in New York during 2008, the over-riding theme of the album is the global language of hip hop. “Wherever I travel as a DJ, I see the incredible power of this artform,” Flash explains. “I am constantly amazed by it. That’s the line that runs through the album – we speak many languages and come from many cultures but, wherever I go in the world, there is one universal culture of hip hop.”
Based on this theme, Flash features the track ‘We Speak Hip Hop’ as a centrepiece, bringing hip hop legend KRS-One together with a multi-national tag team consisting of four MCs rapping in their own languages. KASE-O (from Spanish crew Violadores Del Verso), MACCHO (from Ozrosaurus, Japan), ABASS (Senegal) and AFASI (from Afasi & Filthy, Sweden) trade verses for the first track of its kind. “I used the Mandingo ‘Sacrifice’ horn line on this, which was a huge battle break for me back in the day. I chose MCs who had the right flow,” continues Flash. “It wasn’t about finding the biggest names – some of the guys are known widely in their own country, some are more underground. It was more about the right chemistry.”
