Archive material and source history
Negrow came out of Harlem in the early 1990s, a time when hip-hop and R&B were shaping the sound of New York. The band was led by rapper and songwriter Negrow Starr, with Tony Green on drums, James Thomas on guitar, and Aaron Zimmerman on bass. Their 1991 album 'Who Is Negrow' brought them wider attention.
Their single 'My Name Is Negrow' became something of an anthem, with lyrics that drew from the Black Power movement and figures like Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. The band's name itself, taken from the term 'Negro,' sparked debate. Some saw it as reclaiming a word, others criticized it. In 1992, a planned college performance drew protests over the name.
Musically, they mixed rap with soulful melodies. Songs like 'Novo Sentido' and 'Paro e Penso' carried that same blend of message and rhythm. The controversies around their name and lyrics never really faded, but neither did their commitment to that particular sound and stance.
