Chris “The Glove” Taylor was one of the DJ pioneers on the West Coast.

He was signed to Electrobeat Records. He was also in a crew known as The Radio Crew before he was a solo artist. Other members of The Radio Crew were Ice T, Super AJ, and The Egyptian Lover. They put out one of the rarest EPs in Hop-Hop history for the documentary “Breaking And Entering”.
His most famous record is “The Itchiban Scratch” in 1985 which is a instrumental that samples young children singing “The Grand of Duke Of York” around a Japanese style theme.
He also made a records with Victor Flores called “Breakmixer 1 + 2” and appeared on the famous Motown hip hop record “Scratch Break” by the Motor City crew.
