Clark Kent

Rodolfo “DJ Clark Kent” Franklin is an American hip hop DJ and record producer from Brooklyn, New York. Kent has been in the music industry since the mid-80’s, forming close relationships with Jay Z, Biggie, Rakim and Shyne.

In 1993, Kent worked with New York rap group Original Flavor. It was during these sessions he met a young Jay-Z, and a few years later it was Clark who convinced him to record an entire album – kick-starting the career of one of the greatest rappers of all time.

Known on the internet as a huge sneakerhead, Kent is also the cousin of rapper Foxy Brown.
