Life and careerWiggins was first member recruited to Furious Five by his friend Grandmaster Flash in 1978. He was a dancer and hype man for the band often using call and response style as a pioneer to communicate with listeners. In 1983 he left the group and joined Melle Mel with whom he recorded a single White Lines (Don't Don't Do It) and then album Grandmaster Melle Mel & the Furious Five in 1985. He has been credited with coining the term "hip hop"[2] in 1978 while teasing a friend who had just joined the US Army by scat singing the made-up words "hip/hop/hip/hop" in a way that mimicked the rhythmic cadence of marching soldiers. Cowboy later worked the "hip hop" cadence into his stage performance.[3][4] He was addicted to cocaine in last two years of his life. He died of drug overdose in 1989{{r|sob}}.
