Three Times Dope - Greatest Man Alive

Three Times Dope is a hip hop trio from Philadelphia consisting of EST (Robert Waller), Chuck Nice (Walter Griggs) and Woody Wood (Duerwood Beale). 3xD, as they were called for short, were a part of the Hilltop Hustlers Crew (which also included Steady B, Cool C, Da Youngstas, Mentally Gifted, and others).

At first, they recorded under the name 3-D.

Their debut LP, Original Stylin' was well-received, peaking at #122 on the Billboard 200 Album Chart

and the group became well-known for the terminology they created such as "Acknickulous" and "The Giddy Up". The album's lyrics centered around comedic material and boasting.

3xD's follow-up album Live from Acknickulous Land was an attempt at a more serious work.
Despite spawning two minor hits, it failed to chart on the Billboard 200. It did, however, peak at #30 on Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop Album chart.Eventually, the group had a falling out with their executive producer/manager Lawrence "LG the teacher" Goodman over compensating his acts properly.

3xD later became closely associated with rapper/producer Kwamé. Their third album, Da Sequel, was not released until 1998.

EST would eventually go on to become an award winning Songwriter for top tier acts, most notably a Grammy nomination in 2005 for Destiny's Child's "Cater 2 U".
