Grandmaster Flash: The Untold Stories Behind the Birth of Hip-Hop

Hip-hop pioneer Grandmaster Flash joins Frank Ski for a conversation about the curiosity, creativity, and groundbreaking techniques that helped shape an entire culture. From taking apart electronics as a child to experimenting with turntables in the Bronx, Grandmaster Flash shares how his fascination with sound led him to develop techniques that would forever change DJing. He takes Frank behind the scenes of hip-hop's early days, recalling the first crowds who didn't quite understand what he was doing, the origins of his legendary name, and the opportunities that helped bring hip-hop from neighborhood parties to the world stage. The two also revisit unforgettable moments involving Blondie, the early days of hip-hop recordings, and the making of The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash on the Wheels of Steel. But beyond the music, Grandmaster Flash opens up about faith, personal struggles, humility, and what he hopes to leave behind for future generations. It's a rare look at the man behind the turntables and the innovation that helped change music forever.
