MISFITSS
hip-hop crew in Brookyin. Main members are Rubber Band, Peek A Boo, and Mush Mouth (Marquest). Currently, they made a debut as a rap group called "Mystidious Misfitss". Each member has a great background as a dancer and they danced for many artists such as EPMD, Little Shawn, Salt'n Pepa, and Mariah Carey. As well as Mop Tops, they influenced many dancers in Japan. They have been to Japan a couple of times so far.
Following article is about Mystidious Misfitss as a rap group from Sony music online. They released their debut album from Sony 550 Music. This article touches their background as dancers, too.
MYSTIDIOUS MISFITSS
There's no easy tag to put on them. They're not out to "represent" anything but who they really are and where they've really been. Their rhymes don't cling to the current clich趕 of rap, East or West Coast. But the deeper you go, the more you'll discover in the grooves of A WHO DAT?, the debut album by the Mystidious Misfitss on Sony 550 Music.
Opening with the premier single and video "I Be" and closing with a wicked Buckwild remix of the same track, A WHO DAT? finds these three Misfitss--Rubberband, Mushmouth Marquest, and Messiah Peekaboo--working a garden of diverse grooves with the assistance of both veteran and up-and-coming producers and mixers. Among those at the controls: Fresh Gordon, himself a former rapper whose credits include Dana Dane and Salt 'N' Pepa; Latief King and Spyderman, who team up on "Upside Down" and "Nu Sounds"; Gordon Williams, currently working with KRS-1; Jesse West, who brings his special touch to the blunt- spoken ode "Gimme The Boom"; and Houston Bowen, house sound man at the world-famous Apollo Theater.
Though all are still in their early 20s, the Misfitss "ain't new to this" as the saying goes: Each man bring years of dedicated effort and carefully cultivated stage and rhyme skills to A WHO DAT? The trio finally got its big break as stage and video dancers--first with EPMD, then in Mariah Carey's "Emotions" video and her subsequent performance on the MTV Video Awards.
"We were rappin' during the breaks on her video shoot," Rubberband recalls with a smile, "and pretty soon Mariah was askin', 'Hey, you guys got a tape?' So that was the birth of Mystidious Misfitss, from her insight that we could really do something as a group." (Peekaboo notes that hip-hop entertainers from Rosie Perez to Black Moon's Buckshot Shorty to Onyx all got their start as stage dancers.)
But that fortuitous break was a long time coming, as we shall see...

Rubberband (Jemel Boatwright) is a native of Brooklyn who loved music and dancing from his earliest years. "Really, the thing that hit me was seeing Michael Jackson on tv, dancing with the Jackson 5. Remember that audition tape--it's like a black & white home movie--of them rehearsing? And then he freaked me with the 'Motown 25' special, that just was the...the outburst. I never took it seriously, it was just a fun thing. But later on it became more like an art to me, and of course I needed some money in my pocket, so..." Two videos with Little Shawn, "I Made Love" and "Hickeys On Your Chest," were Rubber- band's introduction to the joys and hardships of rap show business.

Messiah Peekaboo (William Frederick Hill, Jr.) was born in Greensboro, North Carolina, moved to New York with his family, then returned to North Carolina from ages 6 to 12. "As far as what influenced me," he says, "the particular sound that really blew my mind was like the Gap Band, shit like that. Lakeside and 'Fantastic Voyage'--when them brothas came on 'Soul Train,' they blew my mind! There was like twelve--no, twenty of 'em!
"Michael was an influence, and Prince, and New Edition 'cos they were young and I was young. Even though he was before my time, James Brown influenced my generation in so many ways: with his music, as a dancer, and in just seeing how somebody put a perfor- mance together that was so new and different, that nobody was ready for. James Brown gave a feeling to hip-hop culture."
Back in North Carolina, Peekaboo met Steve Azor (the brother of Salt 'N' Pepa producer Hurby "Love Bug" Azor) when the latter was on a Southern tour featuring Heavy D & the Boyz. "Not long after that," Peekaboo recalls, "I was looking through a magazine and I saw a friend of mine, who was now a dancer, in this magazine. It just blew my mind--I thought, 'If he can do it, I can do it.' I came back to New York, ended up getting a job with Hurby, and moved on from there."
Peekaboo is the most experienced of the three Misfitss. "I made three or four other records with other groups before this album. And after gettin' through all the bullshit of show business, f**kin' with the wrong people, ever'body sellin' you a dream, I got wit' these bro's and everything just clicked."

Mushmouth Marquest (Marcus Washington) was born and raised in Brooklyn: "My pops used to tap dance--not as a professional, but just around the way with his boys. Me, I just always wanted to boogie, back in the days. When the movie Beat Street came out, every- body wanted to be poppin' and breakdancin'. Originally I wanted to be a dj, never wanted to be an MC. But we never had the funds, so..."
Marquest got a toehold in the business as a dancer with Technotronic of "Pump Up The Jam" fame. "I went on tour with them, opening for Madonna, and appeared in a couple of their videos. Eric Sermon seen me dancing with Technotronic and hired me for EPMD's show on the Hit Squad tour."
While on that tour, Marquest ran into Peekaboo backstage at a show in Fayetteville, NC. "So we kicked it," Peek says, "and everything clicked on. He had a video audition set up, and as it turned out all three of us got hired."
As for the creation of A WHO DAT?, Marquest explains: "We consider ourselves to be a 'hook' group. 'Cos it's easy to write a rhyme, but it's hard to make a song. Your hook needs to be perfected in a way that you know you'll have everybody rememberin' it."
"This album is something for anybody that likes hip-hop," Rubberband insists. "'I Be,' that's for the future, for the underground rappers. 'Upside Down,' that's commercial and underground but mainly phat underground. And 'Streets, Avenues & Boulevards,' that's for everybody."
For his part, Peekaboo emphasizes the wide range of subjects and attitudes addressed on A WHO DAT? "I'm not sayin' there shouldn't be raps about ghetto life. But if killin' and bitches is all you gonna talk about, and especially if it's not who you really are or where you came from, then you just disrespectin' our Black culture.
"Rappers get scared to talk about anything but that so-called hard shit, like 'oh, man, you not down.' Listen, check yo' manhood! 'Cos a man is a man and a boy's a boy. When you've found what you really want to represent in life, you got to follow that--not just go with the trend, you dig?"
With a note of pride in his voice, Rubberband sums it up: "Us three, we are the spitting image of every youth in the ghetto. Ain't no story we ain't been through, from hard times to good times. And that's what we representin': the truth, as we know it, as Mystidious Misfitss."
