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 the Great Peso, Devastating Tito, Mighty Mike C, Krazy Eddie, DLB, and Master OC.[2] 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.[3] The group only released one studio album, Creepin' up on Ya, which was released in 1994.
