book 88 Keys

Charles Misodi Njapa, better known by his stage name 88-Keys, is an American record producer and rapper.
Born in Long Island, New York to West African parents, 88′ first took an interest in hip-hop after hearing Prince Paul’s production on De La Soul’s 1989 critically acclaimed album 3 Feet High and Rising. In the early ’90′s, 88′ met A Tribe Called Quest’s front man Q-Tip, Pete Rock and producer Large Professor working as an intern at West Hempstead’s The Music Palace recording studio. It was Large Professor who gave Charles his 88-Keys moniker after witnessing his skills on the Ensoniq ASR-10 keyboard.

However, 88-Keys’s parents were strict on education and less enthusiastic about his interest in then-newly emerging cultural phenomenon of hip-hop. Both of 88′s parents are registered nurses, his brother is a doctor, one of his older sisters is a nurse and another sister is on her way to becoming a doctor. Upon considering a serious career in music, 88′s parents and older brother began trying to point him into the field of medicine because it was a more “professional field” and the music industry didn’t seem like a lucrative move.
