Encyclopedia > Coke La Rock

Coke la Rock is an American old school rapper who got his start as the MC for DJ Kool Herc, a Jamaican immigrant. Herc, widely regarded as the inventor of hip hop, brought with him from Jamaica elements of early dub music, among them toasting, or swift, rhythmic speech over a regular beat. Coke La Rock (and fellow MC Clark Kent) began doing the same sort of swift, rhythmic speech over the funk, disco and soul tracks that Herc (a DJ) played. By the mid-1970s, La Rock had become known as one of the most prominent MCs on the New York City scene.
