A 1989 big-name New York hip-hop collaboration coordinated by KRS-One that campaigned against violence in the Black community. Included members of Public Enemy, Stetsasonic and Boogie Down Productions.
discogsThe Stop the Violence Movement was formed by rapper KRS-One. During a Boogie Down Productions and Public Enemy concert, a young fan was killed in a fight; galvanized into action, KRS-One founded the Stop the Violence Movement. Comprised of some of the biggest stars in contemporary East Coast hip-hop, the movement released a single ('Self Destruction') in 1989 with all proceeds going to the National Urban League. 'Self-Destruction' was produced by KRS-One and D-Nice of Boogie Down Productions, and featured: * Boogie Down Productions (KRS-One, D-Nice & Ms. Melodie) * Stetsasonic (Delite, Daddy O, Wise (DJ) & Frukwan) * Kool Moe Dee * MC Lyte * Doug E. Fresh * Just-Ice * Heavy D * Public Enemy (Chuck D & Flavor Flav)
