Almighty Kay Gee is someone who has been with hip hop from the start. He was introduced to the culture in 1971 when he attended a DJ Smokey party and witnessed b-boys, graffiti writers and DJing. As a child, he couldn't afford turntables, so he learned how to breakdance instead, and then in 1974, he felt inspired to learn how to rap.
He met DJ Charlie Chase at an emcee convention in 1978, and in 1979, he became a full-fledged member of the Cold Crush Brothers. In 1982, he went with them to Japan on the Wild Style Tour. His career has included collaborations with a number of legendary hip hop artists, such as KRS-One, Funkmaster Flex, and Doug E Fresh, and he served as influence for artists such as Chuck D and Kool Keith.
Recently, Almighty Kay Gee had to undergo heart surgery, and this has caused him extreme financial hardship. He is asking all of his friends and fans to help out any way they can. Anyone wishing to help can go to Paypal and donate money to this email address: almightyentertaiment@gmail.com
