T La Rock, Silver Fox, & Kool DJ Red Alert Cypher [Video]

T La Rock and Silver Fox are two veteran MCs who helped rap music explode, along with DJ Red Alert, who was instrumental in his role as early hip hop radio pioneer.

Bryan Scheiner operates TheBeeShine.com, a blog and video series that often pays tribute to hip hop’s pioneering architects through short interviews. Recently, TheBeeShine has added the filming of short rap cyphers into their mix, highlighting an eclectic mix of wordsmiths.

For this episode, TheBeeShine gathered T La Rock, best known for his groundbreaking single, “It’s Yours,” and Silver Fox, the Harlem veteran who is credited with showing a young LL Cool J how to rhyme, and these two rap legends showed that they still have what it takes to rock the mic right.

Shout to Scheiner for paying respects to those veterans in our midst who deserve the shine. We’re happy to pass it along.
