The Disco 3, better known as the Fat Boys, were a pioneering American hip hop trio from Brooklyn, New York City, who emerged in the early 1980s. The group, composed of members Mark "Prince Markie Dee" Morales, Damon "Kool Rock-Ski" Wimbley, and Darren "Buff Love" Robinson, was known for their comedic, self-deprecating lyrics and beatboxing skills - a distinctive element of their signature sound. The Fat Boys played a significant role in the popularization of beatboxing, and their influential works, such as "The Fat Boys" (1984) and "Crushin'" (1987), helped bring hip hop into the mainstream.
