Hailing from the East Anglia region, MC Herbalist has been spitting bars over Drum n Bass for nearly 6 years. With his clean, lyrical flow and a mixture of catchy and meaningful bars, Herbalist smacks the set everytime. Like any good MC, Herbalist knows that the DJ is an integral part of any dance so whilst delivering weighty, versatile flows, always ensures the DJ is complemented and the music gets a chance to 'breathe'.
Since starting out, Herbalist has appeared on flyers with almost every major player in the Drum n Bass scene today and has worked alongside many of the leading artists such as Nicky Blackmarket, Juiceman, Crissy Criss, Original Sin and Brockie to name but a few.
With Herbalist becoming a growing name in the Drum n Bass industry he became friends with Andrew Biss, owner of Charge Clothing which is based in his home area of Great Yarmouth, this led to Herbalist's first clothing sponsorship. You can catch Herbalist at dances all over the UK representing for Charge. Other members endorsed by the label include Krafty MC, EZ Rollers, Ray Keith, J Swif, Fever and more.
Herbalist's biggest achievement so far was in March 2008, making a guest appearence on the exclusive BBC 1xtra 'MC Sessions' for a live interview and talent showcase alongside DJ Crissy Criss and MC Rhymes, the show received a lot of positive feedback and as was one of the most popular ‘MC Sessions’ shows to be downloaded. This was a huge step in Herbalist's career and encouraged him to aim his sights higher in the industry.
In September 2008 Herbalist was spotted by MC Mekar, who quickly signed him up to the Quality Control Network Group (QC Agency). QC features some of the best up and coming and established artists the Drum n Bass scene has to offer. For Herbalist, this was a step in the right direction and a sign that all the hard work he had put in over the years, was starting to pay off.
Herbalist is one of many MC's who are representing Drum n Bass's next generation of artists, with big things planned for 2009, this is set be his most successful year to date.
