Funkmaster Flex Biography

With his high-profile position as the top-rated radio station in America's top radio market, Hot 97, he ruled over New York's massive rap industry during the 1990s, capable of producing or breaking musicians. By the mid-'90s, he was also a weekly DJ at the Tunnel, one of New York's premier clubs, and had a radio program on Power 106 in Los Angeles, America's second-biggest radio market. Furthermore, beginning with the first volume of the long-running 60 Minutes of Funk series in the mid-'90s, Flex began creating commercially successful mix CDs. His fame only grew towards the end of the decade, gaining him a coveted spot on MTV with his own daily show, Direct Effect. Though hip-hop DJs like Eric B and Terminator X were well-known in the 1980s and 1990s, Funkmaster Flex was the first pure DJ without any linked MCs to achieve the same level of popularity as early-'80s performers like Grandmaster Flash, harkening back to the days when the DJ overpowered the MC.
