No XCUSE
The 'nox boyz', a.k.a no Xcuse, are a collective of producers, rappers, singers and songwriters from Sheffield, England. We don't like to be classed as UK hip hop or Rap or even R'n'B because we just make good 'music' that everyone can enjoy.
We have a wide range of influences which shows in our music. Some of the mans like Rock, others like Jazz and we all love, respect and admire the greats that paved the way for all of us.
There's un-officially 13 members, with 2 generations, i guess, 'cos the ages range between 16 and 31.....
There are 2 ladies that ride with the nox boyz.
Candice and Cat bring 2 different flavours with their vocals....
Then there's the Young Offenders....
Captain, Lyric, Yung blak, Jigga, and Sandman.
WATCH THIS SPACE!!
Seven is the founder-member and the Centre of our outfit. He single-handledly selected, schooled and trained a force to be reckoned with.
The rest need no intruductions and no Xcuses..
J' Kastro, Murda 1, Sincear, Tez Kidd and Undakuva have been on road for the longest time, puttin' in groundwork, strugglin', writin', fightin', doin' shows, gettin' hated on, gettin tighter as unit and growin into big men with kids and bills to pay......
You just have to listen to the tracks and then you'll understand..
GOD willing.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Our first album as 'no Xcuse' proper killed it... 'CYBORGS' is a serious album that deals with serious issues, at the same time as giving a 'look on the bright side of life' kind of vibe...... It's a masterpiece.
