Original Fat Boys Booking Agency Profile

Book Original Fat Boys for your next corporate event, function, or private party.
Darren The Human Beat Box" Robinson, Mark "Prince Markie Dee" Morales, and Damon "Kool Rock-ski" Wimbley all grew up rapping in the same neighborhood. Robinson's family could not afford a drum set, so Darren perfected a technique of making percussion like sounds with his mouth -- hence the birth of his nickname The Human Beat Box. The group, then known as the Disco 3, entered the Coca-Cola/Tin Pan Apple rap contest at Radio City Music Hall and won the event hands down. Shortly after winning the contest, their first single, "Reality," was released on Sutra Records. The Human Beat Box (also known as "Buff Love," "Doc Nice," and "The Ox That Rocks"), provided a rhythm track that was a first in recorded vocalization. The industry lost a great hip-hop soldier when "Buff Love" passed away at the age of 28 from cardiac arrest during a severe bout with respiratory flu. The group's legacy does live on. Reflecting on the Fat Boys' impact on hip-hop, The Awesome 2 confirm, "The Fat Boys were major stars! They took this art form to another level.".

An example fee to book Original Fat Boys is in the starting range of $40,000-$74,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
CTI negotiates on behalf of professional event planners and talent buyers for paid appearances!

There is low probability to book Original Fat Boys for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the Original Fat Boys agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book Original Fat Boys, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price. It is also important to consider the travel costs when researching the Original Fat Boys booking fee, as additional expenses like this, as well as an entourage of staff and equipment, are not necessarily built-in to the booking fee range shown. If your budget does not factor that in, then there is no benefit for them to want to be hired.
