MC Barry White, formerly one half of the duo Desi G & Barry White and the Bad Boyz, was a unique figure in the music scene. He is possibly the last of the original band of mic-men who captivated ravers in the blues dances and warehouses, chanting or rapping over rare groove, soul scene music or the genre some called 2-step in the early 80s.

In the MC Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Barrington White, as he is affectionately known to a select few, holds the record for indeed being the last MC standing from that golden era. Maybe the greatest MC of all time! From an era when you had to stand up and stand out to be noticed, in a competition field that was so competitive, the style, delivery, and lyrics had to be more than on point. The legendary MC roll call reads like a who's who of the DJ street sounds, such as Tony Nix, Husky Miller, 76, Skanker, Val Pacino, Jazzy J, Little T, and Mistri, to name a few.

In his first sit-down interview, Set The Trend Boys discusses his musical beginnings, style origination, his partnership with his older brother Desi G, the break-up, his family and his future, his journey from Sir Lloyd, High Tension, Touch of Class, Latest Edition, Bad Boyz and then onto his solo MC career.

A one-time look into a distinguished, sometimes controversial, but a career littered with jokes, fun, memorable moments and lyrics. A man who not only inspired but also shaped a generation of MCs from Soul to Jungle to Garage - Barry White - Salute...
