Jamz and Spoony bubble and vibe to the wicked lyrics and flows of the UK Garage MCs. The Godfather, MC Creed, shares how he changed the scene hidden behind a DJ booth, becoming the genre’s first ever MC. Taking inspiration from the Jungle scene and Caribbean sound system culture, in the early 2000s, London crews Heartless, So Solid and Pay As You Go emerged as UKG's next superstars. The versatile, unapologetic and high energy MC-led records became the hot and new sound from the Garage scene. The raw sound changed the lives of artists overnight but also brought problems. The music brought widespread criticism and the untimely demise of the garage scene. In this episode, we hear from MC Creed, So Solid Crew’s Oxide and Neutrino, DJ Fonti and MC Bushkin, and DJ Target.
