Mikey D, DJ Dr. Shock and Symbolic Three portrait

Symbolic Three is a female Rap group that consisted of Sha Luv (Shawn Jenkins, b. unknown), Money (Kwinna Diane Stoney, b. unknown), and Lady Lux (Sharon Turnage, b. unknown). A three-girl Rap group who were known for their answer-record to Doug E. Fresh's & Slick Rick's single "The Show" in 1985 premiered a dis-record titled "No Show".

Born in Queens, New York as Michael Anthony Deering. Mikey D along with the Symbolic Three singed to Reality Records. With Producers Ray (Professor KB) Romain, Dr. Rhythm and Dr. Shock, songs like ‘No Show’ (the answer to Doug E Fresh and Slick Rick’s ‘The Show’), along with ‘Treacherous’ took underground radio by surprise. In 1986, Mikey D (and DJ Johnnie Quest) signed with Public Records and put out classics Like ‘Dawn,’ ‘My Telephone,’ and ‘Bust A Rhyme’. In 1987 he hit the industry with ‘I Get Rough’ (B side ‘Go For it’) with legendary producer Paul C. In 1994 Mikey D was enlisted by the groundbreaking Main Source to replace their lead MC Large Professor. Mikey (along with K-Cut and Sir Scratch) hit the studio and recorded the sequel to ‘Breaking Atoms’ entitled “F*ck What You Think”. Although another historic album was birthed, it was not released due to infighting between the record label and group management.
