Influences: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcaCwKvMyfsHmm... my initial style was heavily influenced by 1997-99 Garage Mc's like, Sparks and Kie, Mc Neat, Oxide and Neutrino. Mostly, taking the piss out of them. I was always in to jungle but never really liked the rave or ragga style mcing. I've never Mc'ed to garage but it was at a messy student party that i decided to steal a mic and give my best impersonation of ,' A little bit of luck', over Planet dust or something like that. And, yes, it was complete bollox! My first major Drum and Bass influence was Skibba, spent hours trying to memorize his chats when i was about 18. Got in trouble once with Ray Keith for using a few of his lines. Don't do that, it's very naughty. Then i was really in to Herbzie and Eksman but after a while i got fed up of double time style. Got sick of all the egos, not being able to understand what was being said and not being able to hear the mixes or tunes. Main influences now are, Mc SP, Wrec, A.D, GQ, Rage, Verse.Its all about spoken word for me these days! Keep it minimal, keep it tight!
Sounds Like: No one else! You know this!!!!!!!
