The Rappers Rapp Group was a group of rap artists that enjoyed a short period of fame in the early 1980s.
Group members included DJ Flash, King MC, Lovin C, Mr. Ice, MC Fosty and Mack-A-Moe. Later in the 1980s they signed with AVI Entertainment, under the group name Dark Star, but their album was shelved and never released. The group broke up shortly afterwards.
DJ Flash and King MC became The Future MC's and had two hits, State of Shock Rap and "Erotic City Rap". King MC then went solo with his hit "What Have I Done For You Lately Rap" which was an answer to a Janet Jackson song. DJ Flash and MC Fosty later recorded "The Beverly Hills Rap". MC Fosty and Lovin' C. had two hits, 1983's infectious street/clubhit "Radio Activity Rap" and "When Doves Cry Rap". The 12" single also included a version by Captain Rapp, who had just released the smash single *Bad Times (I Can't Stand It)" with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. It also featured Kimberly Ball on vocals.
While King MC toured Europe, DJ Flash remained in Hollywood polishing his production skills with a string of both critical and commercial successes.
