It doesn't get much more old school than Kid Capri. Born in the Boogie Down Bronx, Capri was part of the generation that helped put hip hop on the map in the 70s and 80s. Capri was one of the first DJs to take the music out of the hood and put it in downtown dancefloors, spinning at the legendary Studio 54 with has partner Starchild. Though he's maybe best known as the DJ in the HBO Def Comedy Jam series, he's produced some of the most crucial artists in hip-hop and beyond -- from Boogie Down Productions to Quincy Jones. He's also released albums under his own name, from his classic 1991 set The Tape to his 2007 release The World's Behind Me: The Godfather.
