Composed of MCs Kool Moe Dee, Special K, and L.A. Sunshine, as well as DJ Easy Lee, this ground-breaking old school crew formed in Harlem in 1978. Debuting on wax with “The New Rap Language” in 1980, the Treacherous Three introduced an intricate, fast-paced rhyme style then unheard-of in hip-hop. In the early ‘80s, they released a string of popular and influential singles including “The Body Rock” and “Feel the Heartbeat,” on both the Enjoy and Sugarhill labels. However, disenchantment with their financial situation led Special K and L.A. Sunshine to leave Sugarhill. In the mid-1980s, Moe embarked on a successful solo career. The group reunited in 1993 to record their first and only studio LP, OLD SCHOOL FLAVA.
Members of Treacherous Three include, or have included, Kool Moe Dee, Mario Pelchat, Spoonie Gee, and LA Sunshine.
