Born Mark Anthony Morales on February 19th, 1968, he teamed up with Darren Robinson (the Human Beatbox) and Damon Wimbley (Kool Rock Ski) and performed under the name The Disco 3 before later becoming the Fat Boys. The group launched their career in 1983 when they won a talent contest at Radio City Music Hall and by the end of the decade they had become one of rap’s premier pop culture ambassadors with the simultaneous release of their platinum-selling fourth album Crushin’ and their breakout comedy film Disorderlies in the summer of 1987. The trio popularized beatboxing and their goofy sense of humor and affable demeanors made them essential to bringing rap music to the mainstream.
Only "Kool Rock-Ski" is remaining.

Prince Markie Dee is very underrated.. I don't think many people know of him.. But he was really a big influence in the rap world.

I think he gets discounted a little bit for being part of a 'novelty' group.. Fat Boys were pioneers. but, they have that stigma around their necks.

I totally agree. I always thought they (Fat Boys) were often overlooked because of the taint of novelty.
