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.
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 "Ghetto Bastard".
Treach's chiseled physique has helped him land roles 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.
According to VH1 Treach has been with common law wife Cicely Evans for the last 7 years. They have 2 children together. The couple is currently starring on Season 5 of Couples Therapy on VH1.
Treach was married to Sandra Denton, better known as "Pepa" of the hip-hop group Salt-n-Pepa, from 1998 to 2001. The couple had one daughter, Egypt Jahnari Criss (born September 2, 1998). He is also the older brother of rapper Diesel from the Rottin Razkals, a close affiliate group to Naughty by Nature.

Industry rule number 100 is funny
Tall midgets get short money
[Verse 1]
Don't bite the hands that feed you, that's exciting fire
Should've done Celebrity Ghost Stories for all of ghostwriting
I can't fire the owner cause it's me and my DJ
Give a grown-man time-out, I'm out, buy my swag on eBay
Cash, I get it, grab it, feel the punishment from the savage
Legend, lyrical law, they call you Uncle Adlib
Harlem shake shook up for real, you so Breezy
Starving for press that's why when he went and wiggled his wee-wee
My back-up plan is fuck a back-up man, I'm back
Need to call by nigga Busta, boss switched off his contract
Never last, you joke, better dip the yolk
I'm everlasting, bro, your ghetto pass revoked
Chorus
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
Stop bitching, stop tripping, stop riffing
I'm not listening, stop listening, stop sniffing
You out of my army, can't harm me or alarm me
Fuck your fat ass, you're a bagel away from Barney
You wack rapper, backstabber, so greedy
I'll make it so damn they'll never see your wack ass on TV
Eat me, time to find your own zone, watch your tone
Naughty year was niggas throwing you a bone, homes
I hate the leach lurking off of what I built, 'cause I'm real
Now I'm doing side-deals that I feel
Many of your dudes love the ending, the groove
It's the ending of you Mr. Winnie The Pooh
Chorus...
[Hook]
