Guest Bio
Kool Moe Dee is best remembered for his ever-present hats and shades, but it’s his resistance to hip-hop cliches that fortify his legacy. Anti-drugs and alcohol and pro education, Moe was always willing to represent bold views in his music and in interviews. He demonstrated his lyrical complexity as a teen, when as a member of the groundbreaking Treacherous Three he created a new, fast-paced style of rhyming that was ultimately emulated by rap superstars like Twista and Busta Rhymes. As a solo artist, he ruled the charts and the clubs with hits like “Wild, Wild West”and “I Go to Work,” while taking on longtime rival LL Cool J with “How Ya Like Me Now.”
