Professor Griff (born 1 August 1960) is a member of the music group Public Enemy and head of the S1W.A childhood friend of Chuck D, Richard Griffin was exposed to hip-hop as it came to the Long Island, New York town of Roosevelt, where most of the founding members of Public Enemy grew up. By the 1980s, Griffin had become a martial arts enthusiast as well as having done a stint in the U.S. Army.After coming home, he started a security service to work the local party circuit, calling it Unity Force. Chuck was then a part of the Spectrum City DJ-for-hire service led by Hank Shocklee, and Spectrum City and Unity Force frequently worked side-by-side at local events. When Public Enemy was formed and signed to Def Jam, Chuck invited Griff to be a sideman. Unity Force was renamed "The Security of the First World", or S1W for short. The S1W’s were brought along, and became a curious combination of bodyguards/dancers for the band. Their stage routines were a loose combination of martial arts, military drill and "step show" dances lifted from black college fraternities.While technically not a signed artist at Def Jam, he was nonetheless a key traveling member of the band, serving as defacto road manager for several years. Things began to derail when in 1989, the band did an interview for the Washington Post. The interviewing journalist, David Mills, lifted some quotes from a UK magazine where the band were asked their opinion on the Middle East Arab/Israeli conflicts. Griff’s comments apparently sympathized with the Palestinians and, reiterated in the new interview, a media firestorm was set off.In a series of curious press conferences, Griff was either fired, quit, or never left. Def Jam co-founder Rick Rubin had already left the label by then; taking his place alongside Russell Simmons was Lyor Cohen, a one-time rap show promoter and an Israeli immigrant. Before the dust settled, Cohen claims to have arranged for a New York Jewish Historical museum to give the band a private tour. Nonetheless, increasing attention from the press and pressure from Def Jam hierarchy led Griff to quietly leave the band by that December
