Flavor Flav was born on March 16, 1959

Flavor Flav was born as William Jonathan Drayton Jr. on March 16th, 1959.

He became famous as a rap star with the groundbreaking group Public Enemy in the late 1980s. Public Enemy was formed by Chuck D, Flavor Flav, DJ Terminator X, and Professor Griff and they released their first album Yo! Bum Rush the Show in 1987.

With Public Enemy Flavor Flav provided the light hearted comedic relief to Chuck D's heavy political messages. Most PE tracks featured Chuck D as the "lead rapper" but Flavor Flav took center stage on some tracks such as "911 Is A Joke."

See the video and hear the song "911 Is A Joke" (You may have trouble doing both at the same time as the video & audio don't sync up perfectly)
