DeeMany artists would refer to Dee’s group in their music. Artists like Boogie Down Productions and Redman. Some of The Fat Boys’ songs are “Can You Feel It?,” “Human Beat Box,” and “Are You Ready for Freddy.”

Later on in his career, Dee became a producer. He worked with many groups and artists throughout his career. Some of those people are Destiny’s Child, Mary J. Blige, and Jennifer Lopez. More recently he was a radio Dj host on a Sirius XM show.

Many people took to social media to post a tribute to the late rapper. One of those people was Marshall Mathers — a.k.a. Eminem — who tweeted, “So sad 2 hear of the legendary @PrinceMarkieDee of the Fat Boys’ passing. One of my childhood idols & favorite mc’s of all time. Left us way 2 soon. He will truly be missed.”
