" Boostin Kev--The First Lo-Life On Wax "


" Boostin Kev " was a member of Brooklyn's " Lo- Lifes " crew....A notorious posse of boosters who terrorized the east coast for " Polo " wears in the 80's and early 90's....Many are aware of the " Lo- Lifes " due to " Thirstin Howl 3rd and " Rack Lo ", who have kept the name alive in the 21st century....But " Boostin Kev " is the first " LL" on wax....

" To All My Peoples That Be Boostin ", is straight up classic Hip Hop....Kev stays on topic for the whole song, the beat is bangin, and his charisma and personality bounce all over the track....When I first heard this in 94/95, I couldn't believe what I was hearing....It sounded so different compared to anything else that was coming out at the time.....Unfortunately, " Kev " passed away some years back....But his music is still around to keep our spirits up....

Salute to you " Boostin Kev ' for being one of the true originators R.I.P....
