Throwback Thursdays: Doug E. Fresh/Slick Rick

DateThursday, October 20, 2011 at 9:00AM

Doug E. Fresh  (a.k.a. The Human Beatbox) is still one of the best to ever do it.   Doug hit the scene in the early 80's with The Get Fresh Crew which included a British rapper by the name of MC Ricky D - we would later know him as Slick Rick.  The Crew gave us the hip-hop classic "La-Di-Da-Di" as well as "The Show".  In fact, these two singles were released on the same 12" in 1985.  Unreal.
