Anthony Criss (born December 2, 1970), better known by his stage name Treach, is an American rapper and actor. He is best known as the lead rapper of the hip hop group Naughty by Nature.
Career
With Naughty by Nature Treach worked with fellow group members Vin Rock and DJ Kay Gee. Sometimes he would share verses on songs with Vin Rock, but often, especially on the group's earlier albums, Treach would be the sole performer on the song. Examples of this are some of the group's most well known singles from their self titled second album, such as "O.P.P.," and "Hip Hop Hooray" off their third release, 19 Naughty III.
His chiseled physique[1][2] has helped him land roles[3] in crime films, television crime dramas and as a leading man in romance films, including a full frontal in the 2001 crime comedy Love and a Bullet.[2]
He was formerly married to Sandra Denton, better known as 'Pepa' from the Hip-Hop Group Salt-n-Pepa from 1998 to 2001. The couple had a daughter named Egypt.
