Schoolly D
Jesse B. Weaver, since christened Schoolly D, is one of the most iconic figures in hip-hop music. Starting with his influential role in the creation of gangsta rap, he transcended the boundaries of genre and has created music that has been integrated into films, animated series, and sampled by some of the most prolific acts around including Li'l Wayne, the Chemical Brothers, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and the Roots.

Deemed a pioneer by Jay-Z (Decoded, 09) and credited by Ice-T as having the first gangsta rap record (PROPS magazine), Schoolly D's career has given inspiration to countless musicians and fans alike. Songs such as "Gucci Time," "Saturday Night," and "P.S.K. What Does It Mean?" have become classics and illustrate the uncompromising narrative that has become synonymous with the hardcore gangsta hip-hop of the 1980s. His true-to-life lyrics give a snap shot of the streets of his hometown, Philadelphia, and the influences that drugs and gang life had on him as a young man.

Today, Schoolly D has an almost cult-like following, as his music continues to be influential. Even younger generations have been turned on to him thanks to his work on "Aqua Teen Hunger Force."

Schoolly D released "International Supersport" in June of 2010. The album is reminiscent of his early work and showcases his rhythmic rhymes, mastery of beats, and sometimes explicit lyrics and proves the lasting power of one of hip-hop's legendary b-boys.
