Fatman Scoop

Fatman Scoop, Crooklyn Clan!

“Fatman Scoop, Crooklyn Clan!” “Fatman Scoop, Timbaland!” “You got a 50 dollar bill get ya hands up…Single ladies I can’t hear ya’ll…Single ladies make noise!” Those are some of the Fatman Scoop lyrics we all know and sing along to

He’s notorious for shouting his name and requesting that you do whatever he tells you…so put your damn hands up! Whether it’s Scoop’s rambunctious baritone hyping a track or video cameos for P.Diddy, 50 Cent, or Elephant Man to name a few…Scoop’s booming voice, catchy hooks, electrifying energy and charismatic presence definitely goes unnoticed!

As Mr. Do-it All (dubbed by Hot 97), Scoop has been holding down his popular (daily) radio show for 8 years on the nations most listened to hip-hop station, NY’s Hot 97 FM. Scoop has also been growing his 42 market syndicated show (Full Throttle Radio) over the past year and change; in addition to guest spots as celebrity DJ/Co-host of BET’s 106 & Park. At one time, Scoop even had a popular column in Source Magazine called “Scoopology”, and without telling you what you already know…as the industry’s official hype man Scoop’s making everyone dance at parties.

With Scoop’s never ending credentials he has even recorded music for blockbuster films like “You Got Served” and “Save the Last Dance.” Furthermore, Scoop has created original songs and/or recorded commercials for brands such as Mountain Dew, Reebok, Nike and Bombay Sapphire to name a few, and has collaborated or been featured alongside music artists and tracks produced by award winning producers or artists like Timbaland, BabyFace, Busta Rhymes, Dance Hall Kings Sean Paul and Elephant Man, Crunk favorites the Ying Yang Twins, R&B sensation Faith Evans, Nick Canon and the list goes on.

In a category that includes dozens of successful music artists, Fatman Scoop is considered the ultimate party hit maker (think Lil Jon minus production plus a larger physical and vocal presence.) Just ask the countless number of artists that have recruited Fatman Scoop to make their party tracks...party hits and party classics!
