IN 1979,
ELBRAVADOR HEARD HIS FIRST RAP SONG ON THE
RADIO. IT WAS KING TIM THE 3rd BY THE FAT BACK BAND. THEN HE
HEARD RAPPERS DELIGHT FROM THE SUGAR HILL GANG. THEN CAME GRANDMASTER
FLASH AND THE FURIOUS FIVE WITH FREEDOM AND SO ON AND SO FOURTH. DURING THIS TIME
ELBRAVADOR`S BROTHER HAD ALREADY BEEN
ON THE RADIO, BUT BELIEVE IT OR NOT HE HAD NO INTEREST IN BROAD CASTING AT
THIS TIME. THEN TWO YEARS LATER, IN 1981
ELBRAVADOR DECIDED AFTER
DJing A PARTY FOR SOME FRIENDS OF HIS TRACK TEAM, THEN IT HIT, "I
WANT TO DO THIS" HE SAID TO HIM SELF. SO HE AND THREE OF HIS FRIENDS
MADE UP A CREW CALLED," THE JR FUNK MACHINE. " THOSE FRIENDS WERE,
BARRY SMITH, KEVIN BOMAN, AND BARRY RODGERS. AT THIS TIME HE DIDN’T HAVE THE NAME
ELBRAVADOR,
NO
NOT YET. NOW ELBRAVADOR HAS EMBARKED ON
THE World Wide Web. THIS WEB SITE IS FOR THOSE WHO LOVE OLD SCHOOL
HIP-HOP, CLASSIC R&B, JAZZ AND MORE. AND WHO ALSO REMEMBER HOW IT WAS
BACK IN THE DAYS OF HIP-HOP IN CENTRAL VA-USA. ALSO RARE VIDEO FOOTAGE
FROM HIS TV SHOW.
