The Polish hip hop scene began in 1990, when American pop-rappers like MC Hammer ("Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em") and Vanilla Ice ("To the Extreme") were popular. The first album by a Polish performer was "East on the Mic" by PM Cool Lee , which featured two songs in the Polish language. Lee was from Kielce, but Warsaw soon emerged as a center for hip hop, after KOLOR , a radio station, began broadcasting Kolor Shock , hosted by Bogna Swištkowska and DJ Volt , whose crew, IKHZ , became perfoming stars in their own right in 1995. Volt also founded the first Polish independent hip hop label, Beat Records . Though the label didn't last long, it did introduce groups like Trzyha and Molesta . In Poznan, PH Kopalnia 's Polski Rap - Zakazane Piosenki (Polish rap - Forbidden Songs). Now known as Liroy, the former PM Cool Lee released Albóóm in 1995, which included the hit "Scyzoryk".
