This guy, Mark Morales, arrives with a ten-year delay to deliver one of the top rap albums of 1985. Morales is best knows as Prince Markie Dee, rapper born in New York that debuts in 1992 with a LP released by Columbia and distributed by Sony.
When Prince Markie Dee of Fat Boys releases this record, it obviously sounds bad. The guy puts all his effort into making you understand that he can spit and rap like the best, placing the Isley Brothers' "Between the Sheets" on his "LD" and delivering bars with his best Biggie Smalls impression, who had just dropped "Big Poppa" (1994). With an EP of four tracks would have been an enjoyable listen, but this guy decides to stretch the CD and load it with 72 minutes of music and 18 tracks. Unfortunately, he has no competent friends to help him, neither behind the keyboards, having to manage the entire rhythm set himself along with the Grammy Award winner Mark Cory Rooney, nor at the mic, where he is joined by Hasan the Love Child. The album is released by Motown and is totally ignored by the public even after more than 30 years from its release. Unfortunately, there's a reason behind it. 5/10.
