Don’t miss Nu Brand Flexx on this weeks Tuesday Top-Up with DJ Policy 7-9pm on BANG 103.6FM
Boya and Saskilla together played their part in the development of underground garage music into what we know today as grime. Both burst onto the scene in a big way in 2002 by featuring on the critically acclaimed Lord of The Decks 2 DVD. Where their unique style and witty lyrics caught the ears of a grime nation which quickly cemented them as major contenders in the game. After undergoing some serious ground work within the industry by liaising with several big wigs in the game and both undertaking a work experience spell with SONY BMG records, the pair joined New Brand Flex in the summer of 2004 along with fellow mic controller: Likle-P and subsequently began to carve a bigger niche for themselves in this business we call music.
Performing on stage at near enough every major outdoor festival throughout the year, Luton Carnival, Anti Racist Festival as well Victoria Park Festival, which was an invite from Lady Sovereign, were all blessed with the groups vocals. More and more tracks soon began to be recorded with collaborations all through out the grime scene and beyond. The group have worked with such artists as Lethal B, Wiley, Lady Sovereign, Essentials, FLIRTA D and SLK just to name a few. More lyrics were written and more radio sets were being attended and a very substantial fanbase soon began to emerge from the hours that were put into development. Tracks are distributed through an independent sales team or via the world wide web. Striver joined the camp in 2003 and was the mastermind behind rising star Chanels first hit single, ‘Dreamin’ which featured our very own Saskilla and the ever ostentatious Mr WONG. The track reached 8 in the Channel U Charts. Striver also produced the ‘G..sh’ by Da Hour track, which somewhat speaks for itself. Likle-P and Saskilla later released ‘Wussy Phat’l, a creative, comical jibe at that common adversary we have all come to know as HATERS!. The video received over 88,000 views on the RWG-MAG website. With very strong upcoming releases, videos and a short film looming the air, the boys are definitely moving from strength to strength. With a very positive attitude toward their music and a creative infectious styles, we look set to be struck with many more hits!

K.I.G Join Policy On This Week’s Tuesday Top Up - 7PM
Don’t miss K.I.G Family with DJ Policy on this weeks Tuesday Top-Up on BANG 103.6FM
Coming from the north and east of London, starting off mc-ing at the same youth club as Chipmunk, K.I.G hold three members which are Bubbly, Hitty and Creep.
Doing music for 8 years and starting off in a youth club, K.I.G finally found themselves doing sets on many different underground stations, and mc-ing at big raves like Bling, Young Man Standing and a few others. Originally all three members were part of different crews such as C4 and FKV which Shocka currently in Marvel now, was part of.
Music has always been a major part of all three members, since 2 of the crew member’s granddad is 1 of the reps that helped get Nottingham Hill Carnival started many years ago. K.I.G haven’t always been doing funky house, they actually started from grime and rap. ‘Head, Shoulders Knees n Toes’ was actually their 1st funky house song. With the song being a top 20 hit in the UK charts, the door was wide open for the crew, with them being nominated for a MOBO award and winning a UMA award, the crew had set new heights for themselves, also getting big remixes of the song done by the likes of Doneao, Tinnie Tempa, Kano and US artist Wale and Jamican artist Babycham.
The one question everybody asks is what does K.I.G stand for….Kings Inda Ghetto! With future looking bright and having such hits such a head shoulders n were rolling, the crew have now come up with a new dance called point to the star which will be sweeping the nation very soon.
K.I.G in the near future will be working with the likes of Bashy, N-Dubz, Tribal Man, and MD DT
