Dj Glodman aka General GDot - The Krumpire

In the Autumn season of 2002, the eleven year old GLODMAN from Camden, North London, started off as a little yute taking DJ lessons in his first year of William Ellis Secondary School, without any Djing skills or any musical skills what so ever. Within the first 2 weeks into his lessons, the fast learner immediately got into tight scratches, accapella/instrumental remixing (known as G-mixing to Glodman), transforming and complicated beat juggling with eastcoast style freestyle beats taught by 2004 DMC Runner-up BENNY & Dutch female DJ, SISAMO (a member Les Fleurs).In the Summer of 2003, the young DJ got into writing rap lyrics for himself, starting off by writing to tracks that were already made but writing as if he was collaborating with the artist(s). During that year, he joined a lunchtime rap club club run by an RE teacher who was new to the school at the time. The club had members coming to get more info about the Hip Hop industry making beats or clash other performers like T3K NINE, TROY-DEM, ASHELY & J-REALION. With his musical skills, the young artist performed on stage for the first time at his school concert as the first DJ group the school has ever had with his partner-in-Grime DJ, DIPZ, playing exclusive remixes that Glodman made himself that got him an underground name, (Usher, Lil Jon & Ludacris: . “YEAH/GET LOW G-MIX”) and got in touch with other artists through friends like Elliot Ireland, his next door neighbour (a member of . SKEEWIFF, signed to JALAPENO RECORDS), PHAZER (formally known as UZI KID), NEGO & RISKY from BLACK MAFIA in East London.In the late 2004, Glodman got into singing when he was informed by his drama teacher that a ROUNDHOUSE accapella group, VOLUME VOICES, were looking for young talents who can rap, write original poems or sing with the urban choir at the Youth Against Knives show held at Jackson's Lane. Glodman entered as a rapper writing his own lyrics for the choir's version of “PAPA WAS A ROLLING STONE” and suddenly worked as a bass singer and worked on his vocal skills there working with up and coming UK underground rapper, SMIRKZ and singers like NATALYIA, SHANNAY, RIO and RUDI AKA YUNGA SMIRKZ.At the age of 14, the young multitalented DJ was making his own name for himself with his first freestyle “KNUCK IF U BUCK 32 BAR FREESTYLE” which showed off his original super-fast, Bone Thug influenced flow. From there, things were looking good and everything was possible (for him at least).The youngster got into acting when he selected drama GCSEs as his GCSE options, Glodman and other pupils who wanted to take drama as a GCSE were taken to HAMPSTEAD THEATER in Swiss Cottage for a two week workshop in year 9 working on short and original mini plays. Glodman wanted to take his acting more serious, so he auditioned for the HEAT & LIGHT project at Hampstead Theater. At the theater, him and a friend of his worked on a short comedy/love play which only consists of two actors & two actresses which was completely improvised. The theater saw the acting debut of Glodi, who played the part of the main character, John (a smart, charming, sly character who's been made by a friend to have a relationship with his friend's ex in order to get a code to break into the jewelers and steal money and jewelry).DJ, lyricist, singer, actor, what was the young talent? The young DJ, as hell wanted to do something else that would get him a name. Once hanging around at a community centre Glodman was once using the PCs when a stranger who was a unknown rap producer, showed him how to make beats on the program he was going to make his beats on for the next few months, FRUITY LOOP STUDIO. Glodman, who was more of a LOGIC PRO user on the Apple Computers, got into producing beats on no time, creating his own beats, which were not properly mastered at the time, to get himself a name as a producer. Months later, Glodman was creating beats on computers and coming up with exclusive new remixes on the decks which got his name heard around the 'ends' by names like LIMITZ PRODUCTIONZ (GULLY GANG/GREY GANG), DJ IRONIK, GRAMZER and even by the sexy R&B diva from Canada, MONIQUE SPENCER. Tracks like “BROWN SKIN G-MIX”, “REERSE RIDDEM”, “DURRTIEE OUTLAW”, “DEXTER'S LABARATORY G-MIX”, “ORCHESTRAL INSTRUMENTAL”, “SPECIAL GIRL INSTRUMENTAL” as well as his most successful tracks like “DIZZEE RASCAL VS FLUKES: STAND UP TALL G-MIX”, “DIZZEE GRAFTIN/HUSTLIN' G-MIX”, “GLODMAN THE DJ'S 10MIN GRIME SET MIX” and the "girls favorite" “ALL MY LIFE G-MIX” increased the size of his name & reputation all over.If there is any word to describe the 16 year old multitalented DJ/future entrepreneur from London, it would have to be skillful, gifted, talented and unorthodox. This must be one of the UK's underground most versatile unsigned names that is yet to blow. Expect to see this young talent somewhere in the dictionary in examples for words like “skilled”, “great”, “sho sho” or even his own name as a new definition for “unorthodox”.
