About Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five
Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five helped develop hip-hop through turntable technique and group rap performance. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame credits the act with expanding the genre's sound and using The Message to address social conditions beyond party themes. In 2007 they became the first rap group inducted into the Hall, with Jay-Z delivering the induction. This profile concerns the group and is distinct from Grandmaster Flash's solo career.
