If music makes the world go round, Levi ..the headache.. Dredd ought to have your heads spinning in no time. For those instinctively curious about his name, it has something to do with his hairstyle as a youngster. Of all escapes from reality, his fusion of untamed lyrics and well-seasoned productions arguably rank alongside the most potent. For his audiences, this brand of urban music becomes all the more addictive as it works back to improve the same reality from which they sought to escape. As the tides of time shift in his favour, this youthfully exuberant talent from East London promises to captivate our ears and ultimately the charts in a new fashion.Subsequent to a snappy affair with the production dimension, Levi realised that he and computers made for a pairing similar to ..foot and mouth.. (not an attractive prospect). He soon found new love and new comfort as he began to sculpt himself as an artist. Timelessly surrounded by the likes of Kano, Demon, Ghetto, Danger Mouse and other insightful performers, his transition was perhaps inevitable. Although his ties within the music industry offered him an effortless route to success he respectfully declined, preferring instead to gain recognition of his own merit. He notes, ..A man needs to do his own growing no matter how tall his father was... That said, he has proceeded to perform in many live show alongside the above mentioned and others as an artist in his own right. Anyone who..s ever seen his performances would readily testify to his overwhelming stage presence and audience interaction.His passion for music is not easily overstated. In his own words ..We all love food but not all of us aspire to become like Jamie Oliver... In a genre where peculiar sounds seem to be the norm, Levi remains true to the allure of urban music in its purest form. Despite this, his personal tastes remain varied and it..s rumoured that he..s even dabbled in a bit of classical music. Having heard his works live, one feels that any title more specific than ..urban music.. runs the risk of being inadequate to capture its dynamic nature. His sounds are glazed with what may be called the ..cause and effect.. of music. His music serves only to re-enforce your mood. So, without taking any particular form, it is possible to inject into his style whatever it is that you are up for (grime, old-skool, hip-hop etc). However, if forced to assign his music to some particular field, it could best be found hovering somewhere between the realms of rap and UK garage. His lyrics are such that no conscious effort need be made to commit them to memory; an effortless skill possessed by very few artists. As a competent artist, he seeks simply to convey his thoughts through the medium of music. Fame is as much a concern to him as STD..s are to a virgin. As of this moment, he remains upwardly mobile in his artistic pursuits and success seems something of a virtual certainty. In any case, no amounts of sweetly written appraisals are sufficient to launch his career. His music is largely self-promoting in all its genius. So enough reading!
