The Fat Boys were the highest profiled hip hop group in the early 1980's
next to Run DMC. They were part of the first corporate sponsored rap
concert (Fresh Fest), they were featured in the movie Krush Groove, one
of the first rap groups to travel to Europe, and they sold hefty amounts
of records and continued to balloon throughout the decade. Their
beginnings were humble like most but quickly catapulted into full
stardom. Appearances on radio, TV, full tours, magazine spreads and they
even had their own embroidered satin jackets! Their first single;
"Reality" under the name Disco 3 was released unnoticed and that's when
their fearless management of Charles Stettler and Lynda West decided to
bring in one of the hottest names in rap at the time to produce; Kurtis
Blow. The single "Fat Boys" with Kurtis became a instant hit and it also
became the new name of the group. Kurt enlisted his music team to
assemble what became the debut album by the Fat Boys. Larry Smith (Run
DMC's producer and arranger), Davy DMX, Don Blackman, and a whole slew
of other session players laid the raw backbeat for the three boys from
Brooklyn to rock the house! What separated their album from the majority
of other rap records at the time was the pure rawness of the songs. The
humorous element dominated the record but there was a prime roughness
to their style that gave them a hardcore edge. Songs like Stick 'Em, Fat
Boys, The Place To Be & Human Beat Box easily display their
boisterousness.
