Making the breakthrough into the world of the D&B MC is no small task, yet 29 year-old SP:MC has managed to establish himself as one of the busiest & most innovative on the circuit. He has close ties with Shogun Audio [after touring extensively with DJ Friction], & Emcee Recordings [MC GQ made him resident at his own Emcee Monthly Sessions in London after hearing one of SP's early mixtapes]. He has also represented for labels as diverse as Renegade Hardware, Commercial Suicide, Hospital, Prototype, Bassbin, Good Looking, Metalheadz, Quarantine, Digital Soundboy, Symmetry, Soul:R, Exit, Innerground, DNAudio, Valve, Tempa & 3024. Versatility & quality control are a guarantee when SP's in the building. He cites MC GQ, Dynamite & Conrad as early influences. 2003 saw him nominated for 'Best Breakthrough MC' at the Knowledge D&B Awards [alongside Eksman & Armarnni Reign] He was then nominated for 'Best MC' [alongside Eksman & Skibadee] at BBC 1Xtra's XtraBass Awards in March 2007. He was again nominated for 'Best MC' at the D&B Arena Awards in August 2009. If a diary bulging with U.K gigs & worldwide tours wasn't enough, he then started to produce tracks in 2005. Collaborations with Breakage ['Shadow' on Breakage's debut LP, and 'The Lurgie' on Shogun Audio] set the standard, followed by tracks with fellow MC Verse ['Surrender', 'Border Patrol', & 'Lost Souls']. May 2008 saw his firing dubstep track 'Trust Nobody', released on the infamous Tempa imprint. The 12" not only had a great response at street level, but also received widespread critical acclaim. More recently, Code 3 [consisting of long time friends SP:MC, Jubei & Dakuan] released their debut 12", 'Delta' and 'Escape Hatch' on Shogun Ltd [SGN:LTD 014]. Many of the scene's elite, including DJ Friction, Fabio, Ed Rush, Doc Scott, dBridge, Breakage, DJ Marky, DJ Die, Break & Alix Perez lent their support. The weighty 'Payload', also by Code 3 is set to be released within the next month on Coded Music. Also, keep your ears to the ground for another SP:MC Dubstep 12" coming soon on Tempa ['Taiko Dub' & 'Bad Dreams' with Joker D], plus a Code 3 release on dBridge's label Exit Records. |
