My Take
Prince Markie Dee earns my lasting respect as a builder of foundations. As a member of the Fat Boys, he helped push hip hop into the mainstream during its formative 1980s, back when the genre was still proving it could last. What I admire is his range: rapper, producer, and later a warm radio personality who kept connecting with audiences through sound. Losing him in 2021, one day before his fifty-third birthday, stung. I think of him as one of the unsung architects whose work made the giants who followed possible.
