KRS-One – or ‘Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everyone’ – arrives in June 4 for a rare Dublin appearance in the SFX.

Describing himself as a rebel rather than a gangster, The Rapper Also Known As Lawrence Parker has been doing his thing since 1987, with ‘My Philosophy’, ‘Love Is Gonna Get You’, ‘Black Cop’ and ‘I Can’t Wake Up’ among his streetwise anthems.

Support is provided by Afroman, the ex-chain blunt smoking Californian whose Afroholic…The Even Better Times album finds him having a good time sans drugs.
