Fat Boys To Be Inducted In LI Music & Entertainment Hall Of Fame

The Fat Boys will be inducted into the Long Island Music & Entertainment Hall of Fame (LIMEHOF) at the LIMEHOF Hip Hop 50th Anniversary Event at their Stony Brook museum location (97 Main Street, Stony Brook, NY). The Fat Boys' Kool Rock-Ski will be accepting the award on behalf of the group. The event is open to the public and free with general admission ticket.

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 LIMEHOF Inductee 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 three Hollywood movies in the 1980s including Krush Groove, Knights of the City and Disorderlies, and have been featured in several music documentaries.

On June 11th, the Fat Boys will 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 Miloindedance, & DINCO D, JVC Force's AJ Rok, Johnny Juice, Video Music Box's Ralph McDaniels, and The Sounds of Film's Tom Needham.
