Ron Lawrence came and he worked there with me, Salt and Pepa.

Kid n Play were gone by the time Salt n Pepa got there. Kid n Play were first, then Play brought me in and after me came Salt n Pepa. “If they portrayed it like it actually happened it would be confusing, and probably wouldn’t be very interesting. In the recent Lifetime Salt n Pepa television movie, its presented as though comedian Martin Lawrence, Hurby, Salt n Pepa and Kid n Play all worked at the Sears call center at the same time, but Hurby says that isn’t accurate. “I didn’t have a contract with them, never received a royalty check. We agreed that the masters would stay in the studio until the bill was paid.” When Hurby returned to pay the bill the studio manager said that Pop Art had paid it. They paid to get it mixed, I paid for the session but it ran over so they paid the rest. The Goodman’s heard it and they wanted it, but I didn’t give it to them – they basically stole it. I was gonna release the record on my own, and I asked Marley to mix it because if he mixed your record, then he’d also play it on the radio (WBLS). “I was introduced to Pop Art by Marley Marl because he did Roxanne Shante’s “Roxanne’s Revenge” on Pop Art and he recommended them. I hated shopping demos and sitting in meetings with people that didn’t know what I was talking about, or what they were talking about.” You’ll notice the Quazar logo on Super Nature’s “Show Stoppa” which was released on Lawrence Goodman’s Philadelphia based Pop Art Records. We called it Quazar which was a play off of Azor. “Me and my older brother, not my younger brother Steve said fuck it, let’s start our own label. Ron Lawrence was once part of both groups and he released a record with the Super Lovers called “The Lovers Law” on Hurby’s label Quazar Records which Hurby says was his first official production.Īccording to Hurby, Quazar Records was his response to record labels not taking him seriously. These groups became rivals, but they were all friends because of the shared history between the groups. The Turnout Brothers were an off shoot of The Super 7 and Kid of Kid n Play moved into the neighborhood and joined the Turnout Brothers. Kid Flash wanted to return to the group and he changed his name to Rockin’ Bee, but the group was already established and he started a new group called The Turnout Brothers.” Hurby eventually took over the group and they called themselves the Super Lovers. Hurby, Play and Romeo then formed the Super Lovin’ 3. Kid Flash left music because he got saved and the group broke up. “There was a group in the neighborhood called Kid Flash & The Super 7 and it was Hurby, Play (of Kid n Play) and a few other cats. Ron “Amen Ra” Lawrence of The Turnout Brothers, The Super Lovers, The Invincibles,2 Kings and A Cipher and The Hitmen grew up in the same neighborhood as Hurby and started as a D.J. I finally made up some rhymes and they were so impressed that they asked me could they use them. They were impressing the girls and I wanted to participate but I didn’t have any rhymes, and I didn’t know that their rhymes belonged to other people. Bernard is a very important person – he is the one who started me off in everything and he, Jerome and Kenny would come back to “The Hurst” and repeat rhymes that they heard at Norman Thomas. Also Play of Kid n Play went to Art & Design. “Bernard Doss aka Kid Flash aka Rockin’ Bee, his brother Jerome and Kenny Davis - those guys brought a lot of the information about what was going on in Hip Hop culture back to Queens. following in the footsteps of some of his B Boy friends who went to Manhattans Norman Thomas High School where turntables were set up in the lunch room and Kool Moe Dee & Special K of the Treacherous 3 were perfecting their “fast rap”.
