Black, Rock and Ron was an American male rap trio from Hollis, Queens, composed of Lord Black (David Cootryer), The Ruler Master Rock (Greig Walsh), and Ron Scratch (Ron Walsh). Their album "Stop the World" was released on the Supreme record label and entered the UK album charts on 22 April 1989, where it reached the #72 chart position. However, it only stayed on the charts for one week. Though its videos were featured on Yo! MTV Raps, the group failed to garner much national interest in the early days of New jack swing, and disbanded in 1991. Although relatively unknown, the group achieved renewed interest on eBay when a track of theirs appeared on rapper Edan's mixtape, Fast Rap. The group is name-checked in Nas' "A Queens Story".[1][2]
