About Me

LION MC 2XL THE BIO
The climbing monkey aka "Lion" is a British MC from West Wales. Born in 1980 he has been rapping both for the love of it and for the money since 1996. His involvement with the free party/rave scene in Wales has been committed and remains to be to this day.
Genre wise its an open book, past appearances have included shows with a folk hip hop fusion band, straight two turntables and microphone sets, hip hop, drum and bass, dance hall, jazz..what ever...diversity is the key! If ihe feels the sound, he'll do it.
His debut album will include concieved over the last six years as well as many collaborations over a range of styles and mediums. The single from the album, "Middle of Everywhere", is the track for his debut video. The high resolution offline version is available with the purchase of the album, but you can see it right here right now on myspace.
