Lance Taylor (born on April 17, 1957), also known as Afrika Bambaataa (/ˌæfrɪkə bæmˈbɑːtə/), is an American DJ, rapper, and producer from the South Bronx, New York. He is notable for releasing a series of genre-defining electro tracks in the 1980s that influenced the development of hip hop culture. Afrika Bambaataa is one of the originators of breakbeat DJing.

“World Destruction” by Time Zone, featuring John Lydon and Afrika Bambaataa, is a song that holds significant meaning and continues to resonate with listeners even today. Released in 1984, it is often regarded as one of the first collaborations between rock and rap musicians, a genre-blending endeavor ahead of its time.

I don't like to be a negative much, but...

Zulu Nation (led by Bambaataa until victims spoke out) turned it's back on him and apologizing to his victims. Not only kids, he did fuck over everyone speaking for the Zulu Nation. It is a damn shame.

Edit: toned down my vocabulary as this is not directed at OP.
