We managed to get it on tape somehow it turned into a show itself - alot have been requesting it from the clips I used in the Limelight show footage so here it is..enjoy three songs

PART 1 of 2

PART 2 of 2

Artist Profile : King

I dunno if you know this but I work once a week in a youth centre, teaching a sound engineering course to 13- 21 year olds. It takes up alot of valuable time and gives me an 18 hour working day every week but I do it for two reasons - one selfish, one selfless:

1. To give these younger up and coming dudes the chance to get in the studio that I first started recording in to develop they own talents as I did.

2. To inspire me. There is NOTHING like seeing the energy of young talent. Talent not polluted by industry politics, by thinking about marketing, your first single, your image - all of that stuff. Seeing that RAW talent of kids who write bars upon bars everyday but havent put together ONE song. Or producers who make amazing beats but cant sequence the song properly into intro, verse, chorus etc. Its inspirational and takes me back there - I think thats when music is most pure - so thats the selfish part I guess.

It was through teaching / engineering in this studio, I met the talented Nutty P, where I first met my current label mate Sewuese back in the 90s, I met Mc Romeo there back in the day, I met Kyza Smirnoff there, I obviously bumped into Shax there and then the amount of local young people with talent i met there is phenomenal. A big SHOUT out to Raw Smilez too (I need to get you on this yesterday fam! - I know I Know).

Alot of these people I meet develop they skills as I did and go on to do they own thing as you may know. KING is one of them who I met YEARS ago - one of the original co-founders of Hoodstars. He's on fire right now and come into his own - that was a freestyle he done for me - he's off to do his own big things. This is him and his team on westwood a while back. (He comes in third around 2:30)
