Prince Markie Dee of the seminal ’80s trio the Fat Boys has joined Miami radio station 99 Jamz as an on-air radio personality. His first show aired this past Monday May 31 at 2 PM.
The famed Brooklyn emcee is no stranger to radio, however. Prior to joining the 99 Jamz team, Prince Markie Dee worked as a personality at fellow Miami radio station 103.5 The Beat before it folded.
