Hip-Hop pioneer Kool DJ Red Alert was recently inducted to the Bronx Walk Of Fame, which took place as part of Bronx Week Festivities, June 22.

Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrion Jr. unveiled the new names on the walk of fame.

"I was delighted to be acknowledged for what I have contributed not only to hip-hop, but to radio as well," Red Alert told AllHiphop.com. "It's good that people recognize that what we have contributed is important."

Other honoree's included Aerosmith drummer Joey Kramer, Yankees announcer Michael Kay, boxer Jake Lamotta and others.

Carrion said that the Walk Of Fame was created to honor residents who are active and prominent in the community. He also said that it was a way for youngsters to remain vigilant in pursuing their goals in the future.

The new sign is located across from the street from fellow pioneer KRS-One's sign, across the street from the Bronx Courthouse on Grand Concourse and 158th.

Red Alert can be heard everyday on New York's Power 105.1 mixing during the Old School Mix at Noon. Red Alert also hosts a daily show on Sirius' satellite radio channel Wax (42).
