Bringing Da Groove Back

About Me

I'm from a place called Wolverhampton in England.I started out in the game about 93/94 making Hip Hop beats for my friends on my Atarti ST back in the days for our little group at time. Then things got a little a little serious in late 94 when I hooked up with my Cousin Drew (4sure) who is a singer/musician. I started to fuse my hip hop style with his new jack swing style and became able to play some instruments a bit better and could start to produce R&B/Swing for myself.By 95 I was in my fist proper group we were called 'Drunken Munx' the were 6 members made up of 4 rappers 1 producer/rapper and me on production. We had a dark style reminicent of Black Moon, Mobb Deep, Wu Tang. By the following year we ended up supporting the Luniz at one of their UK dates.By 97 the group had broke up and what was left of it we hook up with another crew and formed the short lived "preordained Collective" All was not lost cus me and two other members Form Da Beat Unit production team. Which was made up of 1 Dj/Producer a (Uk DMC semifinalits at 17) turntablist and me on Producion. We did our first EP 'Risin' which was ok then we did own thing.98 - Present I formed Da Groove Resurrectors with Ex Drunken Munx member Jo Shmo who is a rapper/Drummer/producer. I decided to switch from my dark sound to something more vibey/Mellow cus I was Feelin Tribe, Roots, D'angelo etcI have decided to put work on my first solo production ep "Groove Ressurretor" which will feature a host of Mcs, Singers from Both sides of the Atlantic.
