Hip Hop Legend KRS One’s Son Found Dead
I want to begin by saying that the love and support from the entire Jackin4beats team goes out to KRS-One (Lawrence Krisna Parker) and his family. Mr. Randy Hubbard Parker, 23, (KRS One’s Son) died of an apparent suicide according to our sources. Parker, had suffered from “severe depression,” for a long time. He was discovered over the weekend in his Atlanta apartment.
Parker was born July 18, 1983, in Queens, NY. He had moved to the Atlanta area to seek work as a graphic designer and a fashion entrepreneur. A private memorial will be held for Parker on July 18, what would have been his 24th birthday, with a New York memorial service to follow.
KRS-One is a hip hop MC of Jamaican and Nigerian descent from the South Bronx. Oer his career he has been known by several pseudonyms, including “Kris Parker,” “The Blastmaster,” and “The Teacha.” KRS-One is a significant figure in the hip hop community, and is often credited by critics and other hip hop artists as epitomizing the “essence” of an MC and for being one of the greatest rappers to hold the mic.
