Handsome Boy Modeling School
For Handsome Boy Modeling School, a duo of hip-hop legends apply fake moustaches and adopt the fictional personae of unfulfilled international playboys/supermodels Nathaniel Merriweather and Chest Rockwell. These fabricated identities hide impressive r‚sum‚s. Merriweather, aka Dan "The Automator" Nakamura (b. San Francisco, California, USA), has worked with artists including Cornershop and the Beastie Boys and was the studio wizard behind Kool Keith's Dr. Octagon incarnation. Rockwell, aka Prince Paul (b. Paul E. Huston, 2 April 1967, Amityville, Long Island, New York, USA), has notably worked with De La Soul and Stetsasonic. His Gravediggaz project (with the Wu-Tang Clan's RZA) helped pioneer the comic book/splatter flick-style of urban gothic hip-hop popularised in the mid-90s by the Wu-Tang Clan.
