Band Name Origins:

While Lawrence Parker was homeless, he would occasionally join up with some Hare Krishnas, so much that people in the shelters started calling him Krishna. Then, during the very early days of Graffiti Art, he started spraypainting KRSNA, which was later shortened to KRS. His style, and the initials, were soon copied, so he started adding the One.

A couple stories: acronym for"Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everyone", or his old graffiti tag KRS, which is short for his name Chris. Submitted by: Bobo
