          Dewey "Pigmeat" Markham (April 18, 1904 – December 13, 1981)[1] was an African American entertainer.[2] Though best known as a comedian, Markham was also a singer, dancer, and actor.[3] His nickname came from a stage routine, in which he declared himself to be "Sweet Poppa Pigmeat".

          He was sometimes credited in films as Pigmeat "Alamo" Markham.

          He is also known for his 1968 single "Here Comes the Judge", which is often considered to be the earliest hip hop record.[4][5]
