Curtis "Kurtis Blow" Walker (9 de agosto de 1959, Harlem, New York) es uno de los raperos pioneros en la industria de la grabación, y una de las primeras estrellas del mainstream. "The Breaks" (1980), es uno de los clásicos del hip-hop, con su pegadiza melodía de discoteca y su estilo de rapear. Blow fue influido por DJ Hollywood.
Comenzó su carrera en Nueva York a mediados de los 70s, empezando como breakdancer y DJ antes de ser rapero. En 1980 editó su primer álbum, llamado Kurtis Blow.

Bm7 Bm7 A
(That's the breaks, that's the breaks!)
Bm7 Bm7 Bm6 Bm
And you borrowed money from the mob

(That's the breaks, that's the breaks!)
Bm7 Bm7 Bm6 Bm
And yesterday you lost your job
