Emcee's opening statement (5)

I believe the answer is:

intro

(Other definitions for intro that I've seen before include "Opening passage (of music) (colloq.)" , "Prelude" , "Beginning (colloq.)" , "Opening bars to a piece of popular music" , "Opening bars (abbr)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
