Thrust
From Rap Dictionary
Biography
An old-school rapper with a defiantly new-school outlook, the understated poet from Toronto's unfaltering commitment to the music has earned him the Grandfather of T-dot Hiphop tag from some, astonishment at his perseverance from others and unqualified respect from all. Beginning from the cardboard up in 1982 as a break-dancer, Thrust's career has touched on virtually all sides of hiphop culture. A former co-host of CKLN's Saturday-afternoon hiphop crucible The Power Move, Thrust's microphone mastery moved through several different tag-team incarnations - from Thrust and Supreme to KGB to a Child's Garden of Grass - before the rapper eventually grabbed the mike and went solo.
