Encounter with Grandmaster Flash

Born Joseph Saddler in 1958, Grandmaster Flash is now almost 60 years old. Gracing South African soil this October, we were able to gain some insight into the science behind the man himself and how this living legend came to find his way into music history, overcoming every negative voice who told him he would never amount to anything… coining the term “beatbox,” the crossfade and the instrumental use of the turntables themselves, this man is not your average Joe.
