On March 30, the live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film celebrates its 30th anniversary. On a budget of less than $14 million, the film would go on to gross over $200 million, as well as spawning two sequels. It was one of the biggest things to come from Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird's comic book series, which also spawned multiple cartoons, and two live-action/CGI hybrids from producer Michael Bay.

If you've seen the original 1990 movie, you'll remember that, over the end credits was a hip-hop song called "Turtle Power," relating the plot of the film. It's become one of those cultural touchstones for so-called "90s kids," and I distinctly remember owning the cassingle as a kid. But what of Partners In Kryme, the duo who performed the iconic track? We reached out to the group's MC Golden Voice -- aka Richard Usher -- to talk about TMNT, the group's history, and more.
