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 four frontmen The Great Peso, Devastating Tito, Mighty Mike C, Microphone Wizard DLB, with two DJs Krazy Eddie & Master OC.[2][3]
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.[4] The group only released one studio album, Creepin' up on Ya, which was released in 1994.
