THE HUMAN BEATBOX
Darren Robinson (June 10, 1967 – December 10, 1995), also known as Buffy, The Human Beat Box, and DJ Doctor Nice (among other aliases), was a member of the 1980s hip hop group the Fat Boys. He, along with Doug E. Fresh and others, were pioneers of beatboxing, a form of vocal percussion used in many rap groups throughout the 1980s and 1990s. (More from Wikipedia)
One of the bandmembers in the Fat Boys, Darren Robinson became known as “the Human Beatbox” (among other aliases) for his ability to mimic the sounds of a drum machine and was one of the pioneers of “beatboxing” that is sometimes called the “fifth element” in hip hop.
