About The Record:

Crushin' is the fourth studio album by hip hop group The Fat Boys, released in 1987. This would be their breakout album, charting in the top 10 on both Billboard Pop and R&B album charts. A cover version of The Surfaris' hit Wipe Out with The Beach Boys singing back-up vocals made it to #12 on the Billboard chart, and #10 on the corresponding R&B listing. The Fat Boys enjoyed their biggest year in 1987. Their film Disorderlies proved much more commercially resilient than anticipated, and this LP earned their only platinum certification, while becoming the lone Fat Boys album to make the pop Top 10.
