Prominent in Hip-hop as Mellow Man Ace from the iconic rap supergroup Cypress Hill. In Latin Hip-hop, however, fans simply refer to him as, “The Godfather”.

Hailing from South Gate, Los Angeles County and of Latin-American heritage, the name Mellow Man Ace directly headlines the chapters of Latin rap's earliest years, being the first artist to release a bilingual single, listed off of his memorable debut album back in 1989.

Escape From Havana features the platinum-certified single, “Mentirosa” which was inspired from Chicano rocker Carlos Santana's “Evil Ways”. Being the first rapper to successfully incorporate Spanglish rhymes into mainstream audiences , Mellow Man Ace became known as, “The Godfather of L

Fifty four years ago today, David Parker --a.k.a Chief Rocker Busy Bee Starski -- was born. Still regarded as a legend for his clever battle raps, Busy Bee is one of hip hop's greatest pioneers, who helped shaped the art form of rap into what it is today.

Busy Bee burst onto the scene in the late 70's, before the terms "hip hop" and "rap" had even been coined.

Well known for his mix of a Ghostface Killah-esque style stream of consciousness type flow with some savage, laugh out loud insults and smacktalk, Action Bronson is well known for being one of the most entertaining -- and NSFW -- rappers out there.

While he's not afraid to court controversy, the Queens rapper says his sardonic, often vulgar lyrics weren't created solely for the purpose of inciting shocked guffaws or bullying easy targets, it's about
