The Fearless Four (also known as Fearless 4 and Fearless Four) is an American old school hip hop group from Harlem, New York. The group is best known for its 1982 single "Rockin' It", [1] which was based on the Kraftwerk track " The Man-Machine", [2] and was featured in the 1983 documentary Style Wars. Originally, the Fearless Four was a two-member group called the Houserockers Crew. [2] Later, it reappeared as a six-member group consisting of the Great Peso, Devastating Tito, Mighty Mike C, Krazy Eddie, DLB, and Master OC. [2]
In 1983, the group collaborated with rapper Kurtis Blow to produce the single "Problems of the World." [2] It was the first crew to be signed to a major label, Elektra Records. [3] The group only released one studio album, Creepin' up on Ya, which was released in 1994.
Group member, Mighty Mike C, recently signed a book deal. The book, "Hip Hop Is Fearless" is being published by Spice Star Group, in June, 2023. A song with the related title "Hip Hop Is Fearless" is in production to be released featuring various artists.
The Fearless Four recently performed in Staten Island ( New York City) and Mighty Mike C recently performed with Kool Moe Dee, and had a separate performance at the Harlem Week Parade with legendary Doug E. Fresh.
