Red was reared by his maternal grandparents, who were from Antiqua. Red's love for those around-the-way basketball games led him to his high school team at DeWitt Clinton. No doubt this is where he was dubbed the nickname, "RED"; for his red hair and alert response on the court. Red later received a college basketball scholarship. During the last of his high school years, Red hung out at the Saturday night parties thrown by DJ Kool Herc (the first hip hop deejay) and his emcee Coke La Rock (who Red credits as "the very first rapper") at clubs throughout the west Bronx.
Now a seasoned veteran as radio jock, club jock and studio man, Kool DJ Red Alert has established his place as one of the world's premier DJ's. To top it off Red Alert owns a production and management company, Red Alert Productions (RAP). The company garnered a reputation for developing and promoting new talent. RED is responsible for launching the career of such widely acclaimed acts as the Jungle Brothers, A Tribe Called Quest, Black Sheep and Queen Latifah to name four.
Ain't Nobody

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ain't no reason that I'll ever be untrue
There's no need for me to try
I can't find the reason why
Ain't nobody who can really love me like you do
I was always the one
Who needed some affection
And you opened your heart to me
And I can't get enough of your love
There ain't no
Ain't nobody who can love me like you do
Ain't no reason that I'll ever be untrue
There's no need for me to try
I can't find the reason why
Ain't nobody who can really love me like you do
Since you've been in my life
Now I have direction
And I know where I want to be
Boy you know it's with you
Cuz I love what you do
When you're making sweet love to me
I thought that I was wrong
For wanting to be with you all the time
I never knew
That you would play games with my mind
Ain't nobody who can love me like you do
Ain't no reason that I'll ever be untrue
There's no need for me to try
I can't find the reason why
Ain't nobody who can really love me like you do
When you hold me in your arms
I get this feeling
Fill me with your love
Can't nobody love me like you boy
Cuz you give me your good love
Ain't nobody who can love me like you do
Ain't nobody who can love me like you do
Ain't no reason that I'll ever be untrue
There's no need for me to try
I can't find the reason why
Ain't nobody who can really love me like you do

@jacksonjackson9474
SHEEEESH - We used to hit the skating rink back in 1988 - 1989, and go ape shit to so many songs from this era: "Wrath of Madness" (Latifah), "It Takes Two" (Rob Base), and "My Part of Town" (Tuff Crew). And every teenager in Philly learned how to couples-skate to "Teenage Love" (Slick Rick). Killer moments. Thanks for the upload 👊🏾

"the Red goes bazerk/ the fellas go 2 work/ the ladies go wild, & so the fellas lose their shirt/ you'll never understand/ Kool DJ Red Alert was a great man 😊
@CIWise
I wonder what the whole FBA current within the movement to establish the early history of hip-hop would say about the fact that Red Alert kicked off this show with what must be one of the first ever hip-hop/dancehall blends. I'm not arguing about who created what and when. I'm just saying that, in New York in the 80s, youth like me didn't see much difference between the two. And apparently neither did Red.
