'G Block' is what we call our ends [Greater Leys.] First referred to as such by A-Star in early 2004. [G Block was to be such a popular nickname for the ends that Danger One took on the name and started an 'unofficial' label - G Block Entertainment to release all his mix cds on.]
'Family' beacause the unit's tight!

Started to do more and more now we're in 2009.

Formed by Danger One in September 2005. Originally just Rawz, Bubbz & DJ. Rawz was discovered about a year or so prior, although he had been writing for about 5 years [unbeknown to DJ and Bubbz!] Bubbz was discovered earlier on in the year, when Rawz encouraged him to start writing down his thoughts after hearing him freestyle on many occassions. All the while DJ was making his newfound name [Danger One] even bigger by way of his mix cds [for G Block Ent.] DJ had dabbled in writing from time to time throughout his life but never really put any thought or effort into it. Once he realised the potential of linking Bubbz & Rawz together he decided he had no choice but to get with it and not just be a means of guidance or help with promotion, but to spit too! Within a couple of days DJ was on A-Star's case to get wid it, knowing that A-Star was a seasoned mic vet in most genres of urban music. Reluctant at first, he soon came round to the idea, although freestyling is more his forte rather than writing. By mid-October things were official and everyone started putting pen to pad, so that was the real birth of The G Block Family. Within three months over 40 tracks were written!!

On 1st Feb 2006 G Block Radio [Pt.1] was pushed through the gates, then - after progress was made with flows - G Block Radio [Pt.2] went out on 1st July, hitting the haters with more than they anticipated!! By the end of July the fam had grown slightly bigger with the addition of El Capitan, the straight up badman. Soon after this point they had an online interview with Blunted Records on their site "Blunted Presents..." while Pt.3 was in the making and finally managed to drop the 3rd bomb on 1st Dec 2006!!

"UK Hip Hop and early forms of US Hip Hop have had a big influence on me personally. Other genres that influence me musically are mainly Dancehall and Reggae, while as far as people go; all the young, up and coming talent that I have heard in Oxford are the ones that really influenced me to get into the game." Danger One

"Personally, my father and uncle influenced me greatly, having big 'sound systems' of their own,leading me to eventually build my own sound [The Untouchables.]
As well as that I find influence all around me, especially in the music I listen to; Dancehall, Reggae, Hip Hop [UK & US] and Grime." A-Star
