Mark Morales, best known as Prince Markie Dee and one-third of <a href="spotify:artist:3537Phr9t8GWkY2GtxDpnt">the Fat Boys</a>, went solo during the '90s with a pair of albums. 1992's Free, billed to Prince Markie Dee & the Soul Convention, combined R&B with rap and was serious as often as it was humorous; though not a solid album by any stretch, the single "Typical Reasons (Swing My Way)" topped Billboard's rap chart, and "Trippin' Out" peaked at number ten. The follow-up to the debut, Love Daddy, didn't come out until 1995. The gap between releases proved to be detrimental, since the album stalled at number 91 on the R&B/hip-hop albums chart. During this period, Morales was also honing his skills as a producer; throughout the '90s and into the early 2000s, he racked up an impressive number of credits, working with the likes of <a href="spotify:artist:1XkoF8ryArs86LZvFOkbyr">Mary J. Blige</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4akj4uteQQrrGxhX9Rjuyf">Craig Mack</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3j7Sw80qzL2FJlryUhI3wG">Shabba Ranks</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4iHNK0tOyZPYnBU7nGAgpQ">Mariah Carey</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:1Y8cdNmUJH7yBTd9yOvr5i">Destiny's Child</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:2jS7I1u7BpgWT9ssG62Zr1">Lisa Stansfield</a>. Prince Markie Dee died on February 18, 2021; he was one day short of his 53rd birthday. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
