One of his most famous and high profile roles was in Wild Style. As one of the main characters, he is featured in a battle against Lil' Rodney C of the Funky 4 + 1 and Double Trouble, as well as at the show in the film's finale with DJ AJ. Be sure to check out the funky fresh suit he's wearing on stage at the amphitheatre.
He was also involved in one of the most infamous battles in history against Kool Moe Dee. Copies of this battle have been traded around for last twenty years (including on this site).
