The Fat Boys Receive Historic Brooklyn Street Recognition
Kool Rock-Ski stood alone on a Brooklyn street that now bears his group’s name, a bittersweet moment for the last surviving member of Hip-Hop’s most entertaining trio, The Fat Boys. The Fat Boys received a street co-naming ceremony on August 22, 2026, transforming Schenck Avenue in East New York into Fat Boys Avenue to honor the neighborhood where the group first emerged in the early 1980s. What started as the Disco 3 became a cultural force that brought rap to mainstream audiences through films, crossover hits, and an infectious energy that nobody else could replicate.
