Doug E. Fresh

Board Member at Hip Hop Public Health

Internationally known on the microphone as the “World’s Greatest Entertainer,” Barbadian-American rapper Doug E. Fresh, born Douglas Davis, got his initial notoriety for being the original human beat-box, inventing a method to imitate a drum machine using breath control through the teeth, lips, and gums. He had a string of hit singles with his then-partner Slick Rick in the early and mid-1980s, most notably on ``The Show`` and ”La-Di-Da-Di,” one of the top five most sampled songs in music history. A subsequent album, ”Oh, My God,” included guest stints from veteran jazz trumpeter Jimmy Owens and synthesizer player Bernard Wright. Fresh also released a 1988 follow-up album, ”The World's Greatest Entertainer,” and recorded an album in 1992 for M.C. Hammer's short-lived Capitol/EMI Records-distributed label, Bust It Records.
