I started DJing, breakdancing and MCing in the '70s and I got my record deal in 1979 with 'Christmas Rap.'
When I was 13 I had a fake Id that said that I was 19. I was getting in all the clubs.
The Bronx is famous for two things. Hip-hop, and 26 world championships.
My first jam was at Hotel Diplomat opening for Hollywood.
Pete Dj Jones was the first person that I saw with 2 turntables. This was 1972.
I was called Kool Dj Kurt Walker... but they wanted tocall me Kurtis Blow.
