Doug E. Fresh
Biography
Doug E. Fresh is a Barbados-born American rapper, record producer and beatboxer known as the Human Beat Box. He imitates drum machines and special effects with just his mouth, lips, gums, throat and tongue. In the early 1980s, the Lover Boy Crew formed with Fresh, the DJs Chill Will and Barry B, and later the rapper Slick Rick. Their songs The Show and La Di Da Di are regarded as early hip hop classics, and La Di Da Di became one of the most sampled tracks in music history. The Show reached number seven in the UK in December 1985. He and the Get Fresh Crew released Oh, My God! in 1986, followed by The World's Greatest Entertainer in 1988. In 2019 he received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the American Beatbox Championships, and in 2021 he released This One's for Chuck Brown, his first full-length album since 1995.
