I've been known as that since the late 80s, back when Lionel-B was known as King BFS (Beer, Fags and Sex) and the Black Gestapo were known as the 'Chloroflourocarbon MCs'!!

It makes music more accessible and allows people to check for a wider range of artists. This kind of site is amazing, but I wish the copyright laws weren't as they are - as hip-hop's foundations are based on other peoples music (but in an evolutionary sense), whereas now you can have a really dope rapper who has to rhyme over some bontempi-style beats and it lets it all down. Thought for the day - Bring back gratuitous sampling! Seriously!

Probably, if they were dumb enough to approach me! After all, it would be free money...

Mainly late 80s/Early 90s MCs such as Kane, Rakim, G Rap and Grand Daddy IU but I draw from so many more recent ones too (Canibus, Demigodz, Black Twang etc). My main influence though is all the say-nothing MCs around today though who have forgotten to entertain. They give me my biggest inspiration!!! ITS ALL ABOUT ENTERTAINMENT. If you want to get all serious, political or emo thats cool, as long as it makes people want to keep listening. If you can't do that, forget it.

Nottingham, England (East Midlands is my manor)
Newport, Wales (place of birth and a city thats really starting to kick ass)
NYC (for giving birth to the music I love)

Outrageous vocal skills

Give my sh*** a go. I could be your next favorite MC...
