Styles MC

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
