The Fat Boys' Kool Rock-Ski Raps with Tom Needham on the Long Island Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame Podcast
The Fat Boys were an American hip hop trio from Brooklyn, New York, who emerged in the early 1980s. The group was composed of Mark "Prince Markie Dee" Morales, Damon "Kool Rock-Ski" Wimbley, and Darren "Buff Love" Robinson.
The Fat Boys were one of the first rap groups to release full-length rap albums. They released seven studio albums, four of which went Gold.
The first two albums of the group were produced by Kurtis Blow. Successful singles included "Jail House Rap", "Can You Feel It?", "Fat Boys", "Stick 'Em", "Don't You Dog Me", "All You Can Eat", "The Fat Boys Are Back", and "Pump It Up".
The album Crushin' received a Platinum status due to their single "Wipeout", which was recorded together with The Beach Boys.
The group also starred in Hollywood movies in the 1980s including Krush Groove and Disorderlies, as well as in several music documentaries.
In 2023, the Fat Boys were selected to be inducted into the Long Island Music & Entertainment Hall of Fame at a special Hip Hop 50th Anniversary Concert and Panel Discussion featuring Son of Bazerk, DJ Jazzy Jay, Leaders Of The New School’s DINCO D, JVC Force’s AJ Rok, Public Enemy's Johnny Juice and Keith Schocklee, Video Music Box’s Ralph McDaniels, and the SOUNDS OF FILM’S Tom Needham.
