Invited to Greater London Radio (GLR) again but this time interviewed by the main man Dave Pearce! Yes people, Dave Peace use to play Hip Hop, Rap has a lot to answer for!, Winning the DMC made a lot of changes in my life which allowed me to bringing Hip Hop various parts of the World mainly Europe, I was always asked if I was from US! This was certainly a different audiences the Club scene,  I'm always greatful that I could intduce my style but there was a price if I'm honest, that's when I started losing focus on my real goals! The UK Hio Hop scene was a big casualty as to earn a living I couldn't finish the many demo's I did with No Parkin and I certainly wasn't in the undergound clubs or doing radio mixes, this is how I built my reputation originally, there was a lot of dodgy promoters also putting my name on flyers, I had no clue about this so many just thought I was dissing them by not making a appearance to play at the local jams any more, believe it or not I never was managed, that's the UK scene, although I was 20 yeas old at the time I may of had the ears of the industry but they still treated us as kids. Do think that's changed today? Enjoy!

Cutmaster Swift Live on GLR Radio with Dave Pearce 1989

This is the Live audio recordng taken from the original performance, back then people use to blow horns & whistles so loud we could just about hear what we were mixing! Dedicated to those who still thnk music choice and selection is still just as impotant as the skills we use manipulate the sounds!

Cutmaster Swift 1989 UK Final

Another radio treat fo y'all! This time it's on Kiss 100 with there 1st Hip Hop DJ Ritchie Rich! This is a poor recording (bad signal) so if there's anyone out there with a better quality recording please get in touch! Storm is my younger brother and the real secret to my sucess, he's witnessed the my real growth and had to endure all those many, many hours of listening to my repeditive practicing! We danced togeather from school as the Crash Crew, he became the MC and host for the Imperal Mixers after the Cookie Crew left and also introduced me to Mike C and K.I.S.S to form No Paking MC's! We were invited to Kiss 100 after Storm topping Ritche Rich's UK undergound chart for a whopping 5 weeks I think with his1st solo single Playin' the Field. This is a free style appearance with a interview at the end. Listening back to this recording again is further proof that although there has been progress in UK Hip Hop this is still no where in comparison with other country's that has a much bigger and vibrant supportive scence! Enjoy
