Orange Krush

Among the initial groups to mix hip-hop and rock and roll, Orange Krush was comprised of past Brighter Part of Darkness bass participant Larry Smith, one-time Kurtis Blow DJ Davey DMX on acoustic guitar and drummer Trevor Gale. The group was a pioneering pressure in the first background of Russell Simmons’ Def Jam Information, recording several tunes that would ultimately become the support tracks for Work D.M.C.’s landmark slashes such as for example “Sucker MC’s” and “Hollis Team.” Though Smith and Simmons experienced plans to increase the group with the addition of a female vocalist, Orange Krush ultimately disbanded, each member going after their own profession.
