DJ Kool (born John W. Bowman, Jr.) is a rapper who, in the late 1990s, produced several popular rap singles. Born in 1959 in Washington, DC, his influence from his years of working the go-go and rap circuits became apparent in his music. During the early- to mid-1980s, Kool worked as a warm-up DJ for Rare Essence, until he was picked up by CLR Records.
In 1996, he recorded his most successful track, "Let Me Clear My Throat". The song prominently features a sample from the song "The 900 Number" by The 45 King, (that song featuring a sample from Marva Whitney's "Unwind Yourself" (External Link

He was also featured on two tracks on Will Smith's 2005 album Lost and Found.
