The Fat Boys, originally known as The Disco Three, arose to fame in the 1980s after winning a rap contest, leading to a record deal and notable appearances like on 'Hollywood Squares.'

Despite losing two members, the last surviving member, Damon "Kool Rock-Ski" Wimbley, asserts that The Fat Boys' influence and legacy remain significant in hip-hop history.
