Legendary hip-hop "human beat box" Doug E. Fresh is rapping the blues this holiday to the tune of $2.27 million in back taxes that he owes the feds.
Fresh, whose real name is Douglas E. Davis, has been down debtor's row before in the not-too-distant past when, back in 2008, he was hit with three foreclosure actions by banks who were looking to collect $3.5 million in unpaid mortgages from three Harlem, New York properties that he owned.
The record producer and iconic pioneer of beatboxing now faces yet another New York City tax lien which was filed on October 20 with the New York City Register's Office.
As the former frontman for the 80's group "The Get Fresh Crew," Fresh's extraordinary talent for imitating drums and using other unique sound effects with his mouth and just the use of a microphone shot to stardom when he performed his beat box talents throughout the duration of the record "La-Di-Da-Di" while Slick Rick rapped.
Fresh remains renowned with contemporary artists. The devout Scientologist also recently opened "Doug E.'s", a chicken and waffles fast food-type of restaurant in Harlem after a three-year delay.
