Mohandas Dewese (born 8 August 1962), better known as Kool Moe Dee, was an American old-school MC prominent in the late 1970s, throughout the 1980's and early '90s. He was born in Manhattan, New York. Kool Moe Dee was also the first recipient of the NAACP Image award. He was also one of the first rappers to gain a Grammy award and he was the first to perform at the Grammys.
In the late 1970s, he met Special K and DJ Easy Lee. Kool Moe Dee joined with other rappers Special K and L.A. Sunshine as well as DJ Easy Lee to form the influential old school hip hop group the Treacherous Three. It is with The Treacherous Three that Kool Moe Dee performed his freestyle, on stage roast of old school party rapper Busy Bee Starski, a performance frequently cited as a pivotal moment in the development of the battle rap. In 1981, they moved to Sugar Hill Records along with another Enjoy act Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. The Treacherous Three became well known for their singles Feel the Heart Beat and Whip It. They were featured in the 1984 film the breakdance cult-movie Beat Street performing the song Xmas Rap with Doug E Fresh, but disbanded shortly afterwards.
