Overwrite

Contrary to the misinformed UK rap didn’t start with Dizzy Rascal, The Streets & Stormzy

Neither was it always an inferior emulation of its US counterparts. The UK took musical influences from diverse sources inspired by the countries uniquely diverse spectrum of international cultures, embryonic influential moments that transformed into multiple worldwide musical phenomenons, hugely successful genres that could only of been forged in the UK. 

The evolution of rap in the UK is a complex and fascinating story, many of its first commercial releases might of been novelties or pop hit records but a parallel strong & passionate underground scene developed via events, clubs, magazines and nationwide specialist Rap radio shows, Hip Hop in the UK was a transformative colour blind unifying force. 

Although  much of it was ignored outside of the UK, Early British rap from across all regions of the country created many landmark timeless anthems that still sound as fresh and urgent today as they did when first released, equally as relevant as seminal revered releases from the same era across the pond, they deserve more respect and attention. 

I’ve tried to include as many of my favourite tracks from 1980-1996 as possible in this mix. In chronological order, but by no means definitive, I’m fully aware I’ve missed out loads of other great records, (and added some curveballs simply to infuriate purists) so my apologises to those legends & pioneers I didn’t feature. 

Also I’m certainly no turntablist so please don’t expect cutting, scratching or masterfully theatric blends, I’ll leave that to the experts. 

Apologies for playing Ian Dury during tracks from 1981, it was originally released in 1979 so really should have started the mix. 

Enjoy!

NB : Original broadcast as 3 parts on Noods Radio in 2025, this is an extended version of those mixes featuring bonus tracks not in the original Mixes.

lyrics 

roses on my grave but thankfully i’m throwed enough to relax,
i don’t want no pity i just need someone to hear the facts,
satisfied in misery i don’t see no reason to crawl out,
set aside the feelings but i know it’s all in my head,
she seeing it in my face 
i’m drinking until im numb,
and i don’t know what to say
without it sounding dumb ,
sometimes it’s too much for me i can’t escape it all,
sometimes when your not with me i cannot breathe at all,
stay with me,
gone crazy,
you made me,
i give off i don’t feel you and she still played me,
liquor in this cup turning memories to failure,
tell me what is love i don’t know i never cared for it,
come from up above but in sanctioned down in hell
where the demons feasting on my soul,
roses on my grave but thankfully i’m throwed enough to relax,
i don’t want no pity i just need someone to hear the facts,
satisfies in misery i don’t see no reason to crawl out,
set aside the feelings but i know it’s all in my head,
