I consider it a great opportunity to benefit from the inspirational messages and life experience teachings of KRS-One. As I have grown over the years with Hip Hop from child into adulthood, I wondered where his great source of self empowerment and drive comes from towards life beyond the bright lights, publicity and praise. In this episode of Louie Jr Sr. Radio, KRS-One is joined by one of his biggest inspirations, his wife Simone G. Parker who supports his journeys through life as an accomplished figure of leadership, Hip Hop icon, teacher and family man.

As he reflects on a successful 20 years of marriage, KRS-One explains the benefit in working with your partner to discover your purpose in life through trail, error, hope and perseverance.

KRS-ONE 
"The Teacha", Hip Hop Legend

"In 1999, Simone G. Parker, wife and mother of four, had a startling revelation! While traveling, reading, and attending various church services seeking spiritual enrichment, she began to hear unexplainable thought provoking messages that would come to her in the form of acronyms. "My first acronym came to me while traveling cross country with my husband on a business trip. It was S.P.I.R.I.T. Something Pressing Inside Revealing Its Truth. From that moment on, I saw a hidden message within almost every word. After sharing this gift and inspiring family and friends, Parker then learned that her first name, "Simone," when translated into Hebrew means one who hears. At that pivotal moment, she realized that the hidden values revealed to her in the form of acronyms were a gift from God and that they could be used as a vehicle to shower the spirit by leading others to spiritual peace, clarity and enlightenment. 
Acronologist/Prophetess Parker (as those who are inspired by her words affectionately call her) has recorded over 1000 original spiritual acronyms. In addition to spiritual acronyms, Parker has developed practical inspirational strategies for daily living. 

Kris Parker aka KRS-ONE (Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everyone), is the embodiment of the philosophical, sociological and political worldview espoused originally by those that participate in Hip Hop's culture.

KRS-ONE is presently one of the most outspoken leaders of Hip Hop's culture and politics. Having lectured at over 500 universities and colleges over a 15-year period, KRS-ONE has been honored by the United Nations, VH-1, Billboard Magazine, the Source magazine, the Riverside Church in New York, Harvard University, Yale University, Princeton University and Oxford University students and professors in England. His integration of Hip Hop and metaphysical knowledge resonates throughout his music, lectures, and writings and the Hip Hop community can't get enough of it. Not only is KRS-ONE widely considered the best live Hip Hop Emcee of all time, respectfully Ja Rule, P Diddy, Snoop Dogg, Nas, Jennifer Lopez, Jay-Z, Sublime, Mos Def, Dr. Dre are among those that have either sampled or covered KRS-ONE's classic rap material."
