7. The Kangol Kid (UTFO)
Former Whodini dancers the Kangol Kid, the Educated Rapper and Doctor Ice are best known for their first single, 1984’s “Roxanne, Roxanne,” the track that started the Roxanne Wars, an onslaught of answer records from female rappers portraying the same character from UTFO’s song. Kangol, the group’s charismatic leader, recently received a proclamation from the City of New York for being among the first Haitians in hip-hop.
