Styles MC is the greatest thing to ever happen to HIp Hop
Born in Lusaka, Zambia on the 4th June 1980, Styles
MC; aka Malenge Terence Ngondo. Lived and studied there until he moved
to England in 1990 for study purposes. He completed his General Certificate
in Standard Education at Bedford School, Bedfordshire in 1996 and remained
there another two years to complete his A- Levels.
Although never deciding to take up music academically Malenge maintained
great interest in music spanning a collection of over a hundred albums.
On his trips back to Zambia in the mid to late 1990s he managed to fit
in a fair number of DJing gigs (a hobby of his) and did his first vocal
performance with his brother and MC, Dangerous Guy aka Your Daily Bred,
at Zambia first major Hip Hop Competition The Million
Kwacha Rap Contest in October of 1998 hosted by Chisha Folotiys
( TV Presenter, Carte Blanche in South Africa and owner
of Tiyende Magazine and Mondo music major
brands in Zambia). This also allowed Malenge the opportunity to do radio
interviews and skits on Radio Phoenix (the largest radio station in
Zambia).
Going back toUniversity in England in January 1999, Malenge focused
mainly on his computer studies Djing only occasionally at the local
Hall of Richmond International University in London and on some occasions
West End London clubs, but there were no vocal performances to be seen
for his dark and dastardly alter ego Styles MC. During the years 0f
1999 to 2004 Malenge still continued to write music and lyrics, writing
songs for friends in College bands and Styles MC material but his own
stuff was never recorded until he returned back to Zambia in September
2004
Since then he has gone back to his production and song writing routes
producing over 150 tracks over the last 2 years. Sounds includ Hip Hop,
R n B, House, Trance, Break Beat, Garage, Drum N Bass, Jazz/ Swing,
Reggae and Pop. (The release of any legitimate materials so far has
been spoiled by vocal tampering as caused by equipment problems in Zambia.)
Though he has chosen to release 'The Demo' first (a compelation of
tracks from his first 5 albums), His first Dance record, Ascendance;
and his first Hip Hop and R n B double album Ghost Stories Vs
Radio are now set to be released before the end of 2007. Critics
claim there’s been nothing like it.
Album releases have been held back my more than a year due to piracy
and theft of the BSE studio but the Styles wear range is available for
the purchasing of Polo shirts, T- shirts, Caps and ladies body tops.
We should expect and album release in November 2007.
I love to play live unfortunately things aren't so good right now but I love the rush
Just music in general, I'm into everything from Hip Hop, R n B, House, Drum n Bass, 80s Pop and a whole heap of classic soul and other musics
PCs, mixers, keyboards, etc
