Taken from their 1985 super LP "They Said It Couldn't Be Done" Joseph Robert Saddler aka Grandmaster Flash, is a legendary DJ and producer. He created a DJ technique called the Quick Mix Theory. This technique serviced the break-dancer and the rapper by elongating the drum breaks through the use of duplicate copies of vinyl. He is the founder and creator of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, the first rap group to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007. In 2019, he became the first hip hop artist to be honoured with the Polar Music Prize. On May 21, 2022, he acquired an honorary doctorate in Fine Arts from Buffalo State University, and in June 1, 2023, he was awarded an honorary doctorate in music from Lehman College in the Bronx, NY.
