I had some time, so I thought I'd update this section.

GBH is a complicated dude. He spends most of his time in his room, reading, writing, watching, movies and listening to hip hop. But outside of this, he has a sense of humour and even can get deep and philosophical from time to time.

In terms of hip hop, he thinks he can contribute something. It's not everyday a Sufi-like cat from East London records tracks about rippin' your guts out, decapitating anyone you've ever loved and still drop some knowledge in the same rhyme. He's got a lot to get off his chest and rap is how he does it.

His love affair with hip hop started young, listening to classic Tupac and Notorious B.I.G since he was ten, mainly through his cousins, who would cop CD's and bring them round to bump. Hittin' his teens, he switched genres and tried the whole grunge rock thing, just wanting to break the monotonous routines of his school life. It wasn't until he was 16 he fell back in love with rap. Getting quickly bored of what was out at the moment and trying his hand at writing rhymes, he came across some Canibus shit. Needless to say, listening to Bis catapaulted GBH's confidence and adopted the moniker "Prodigal Son" as felt he related to that particular Biblical story. Droppin' writtens and getting feedback, it was clear that Prodigal Son could only be taken so far. In that moment Grievous Bodily Harm was born. Delving into the darker side of human nature, GBH represented the mysterious side of Mohummad, the metaphysical aspect of his nature coincided with his interest in Sufism.

It was a matter of time before he took the plunge and decided to record his lyrics. Progress was sporadic. A track a year or several, his growth was hindered by his education, putting hip hop to one side in order to concentrate on his studies.
