This Friday….the legend Rich Medina will bless Fresh Friday!!!!!!!!
Doug E. Fresh turns 46 years old today
- Doug E. Fresh was born Douglas E. Davis on September 17, 1966
- Known as the Human Beat Box, Doug was able to imitate drum machines and various special effects using only his mouth, lips, gums, throat and a microphone.
- Mr. Fresh got his break as part of the Get Fresh Crew with Barry Bee, Chill Will and newcomer MC Ricky D (who would later become known as Slick Rick). They turned out two hit songs — “The Show, which borrowed the melody of the Inspector Gadget theme, and “La Di Da Di,” with rhymes by MC Ricky D backed by Doug E’s beatboxing for the entire song.
- Doug’s 1992 album Doin’ What I Gotta Do, on MC Hammer’s label, Bust It Records, went nowhere. Subsequent efforts fared only slightly better.
- But 1995’s Play included a reunion with Slick Rick. Though the album bombed, the tracks “Where’s da Party At?,” “Freaks,” “Hands in the Air” and “I-ight” all made the Hot Rap Singles chart.
