ARTIST BACKGROUND

About Treacherous Three

Treacherous Three brought together Harlem rappers Kool Moe Dee and L.A. Sunshine with Special K and DJ Easy Lee. Their early recordings helped develop a rapid delivery style, especially on The New Rap Language. They recorded for Enjoy and later Sugar Hill, with repertoire including The Body Rock and At the Party. Their connection with Spoonie Gee helped bring the group into Bobby Robinson's recording circle.
