Lawrence Parker (born August 20, 1965 in The Bronx, NY, United States), better known by his stage name KRS-One, is an American MC and producer. His name is an acronym for "Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everyone."

Originally a graffiti artist, he designed the logo for B-Boy Records who released his first recordings with group Boogie Down Productions. Over his career, he has been known by pseudonyms including "Kris Parker," "The Blastmaster," "The Teacha," and "The Philosopher." At the 2008 BET Awards, KRS-One was the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award for his work and effort toward the Stop the Violence Movement, and his position as a pioneer of Hip-Hop music and culture.
