Editor's note

Young MC, the Queens rapper behind Bust a Move

His 1989 hit defined a moment and anchored a platinum debut.

For the full picture, start with 'Bust a Move' and then check out 'Principal's Office.' They frame his style pretty clearly.

Young MC's 'Bust a Move' wasn't just a chart-topper; it became a permanent fixture in hip-hop's pop crossover. That track, along with songs like 'Principal's Office' and 'Got More Rhymes,' gave his debut 'Stone Cold Rhymin'' a playful, accessible edge. Even with later albums like 'Brainstorm,' that 1989 single remains the reference point.

He broke out in 1989 with 'Bust a Move,' which led to the platinum album 'Stone Cold Rhymin'.' The early '90s brought legal disputes with Delicious Vinyl, but he kept recording through the decade with projects like 'What's the 411?' and into the 2000s with 'East Coast Grindin''.

Beyond that hit, he released songs like 'Principal's Office' and 'Got More Rhymes.' His catalog includes albums such as 'Brainstorm' from 1992 and 'What's the 411?' in 1994. There were legal disputes with his label Delicious Vinyl over royalties in the early '90s, which were later settled.
