Rock Master Scott & the Dynamic Three

Rock Master Scott & the Dynamic Three grew up in the Bronx, New York City, where three of the members lived in the same building on Webster Avenue.

Gregory, the photographer, gathered the two together for a show performance in New Haven, Connecticut at a club called Le’ Joint which run by his two cousins Cody and Andre.

Richard did not want anything to do with Charles due to the fact they had a previous dispute about his childhood sweetheart.

They performed, did well but stayed out there with Gregory's family members for several days and then returned to New York City where they lived.

The club was called Your Spot, formerly known as [Burger King] a fast food restaurant which was converted by a man named Jerry Blood Rock.

Scott had a connection with another promoter name Man Dip Lite, who always had shows lined up for other popular groups.

He organized gigs for Master Scott & the Dynamic Three at a roller skating rink in Long Island.

It took some months from the time of him asking them, but finally they recorded their first song, "It's Life (You Gotta Think Twice)" and DJ Wiz Kid was responsible for the music, may he (R.I.P.).

After the group began receiving some radio exposure, Profile Records became involved, particularly for distribution.

They laid the track "The Roof Is on Fire" there along with "Request Line" then took it to unique studio to complete the work.

For example, Master Scott and Charlie Prince flew to a performance in Fayetteville, North Carolina while Rick and MBG remained in New Jersey.

The Dynamic Three's performer contends that he is the original Slick Rick, as the release date in 1984 of "Request Line" by Rockmaster Scott & the Dynamic Three precedes the release in 1985 of "The Show" by Doug E. Fresh and the Get Fresh Crew, which features MC Ricky D who would eventually use the moniker Slick Rick.

The group released more than these two songs, but "The Roof Is on Fire" (1984), which charted at #5 on the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales was the main focus at the time.
