Chronological Biography
2001-2005

Back in 2001 4Saken we’re known as Timber Troublez Clique and consisted of 4 members including Trooper and Game Creator. Timber Troublez was the learning curve for the two rappers and gave them the chance to gained quite a lot of exposure at such a young age.

At the ages of 13 (Game-C) and 15(Trooper) supported The Number 1 recording artist from the United States, SISQO, from World famous R’n’B Group DRU HILL. They also performed at the biggest annual concert in Liverpool, ‘The Liverpool Summer Pops’.

Timber Troublez were on the performing circuit for about 2 years as a group but with the dynamics of the group changing and the grime scene in Liverpool growing, Timber Troublez was changed into Max Pain Crew, Liverpool’s Best Junior Grime Crew at the time. Max Pain Crew was once again run by Trooper and Game C but consisted of about 15 various MC’s on the Liverpool scene at that time. 
2005-2006

Max Pain Crew was a short lived musical journey for Trooper and Game C as they felt that they were putting in all the work and reaping not enough rewards. They were awarded the Toxteth Achievement Award for their contribution to the local music scene and also the Dingle Opportunities Street waves award for their talent in production, performing and self promotion.

Trooper and Game C were writing a song together one day (Down For Love) and decided that they were the more determined 2 out of the group and wanted to progress more in the music industry.

They decided that they were going to continue their musical journey as a duo, but bringing in more local artists when needed, making them a collective of musicians.They decided they had been forsaken so many times and they came up with the name 4Saken, adding the number for effect. 
2006-Present

4Saken entered and went on to win Street-waves 2006, a competition run by the Liverpool Culture Company, and won the chance to perform at The Matthew Street Festival and other major events in the Liverpool Music calendar, and were chosen by the Liverpool Labour Party to travel with them and perform at the party conferences in Brighton, Bournemouth and Manchester.

With their great stage performances and music following for an unsigned act 4saken were chosen by Liverpool City Council to Support THE FARM on the opening day of Liverpool's 10'000 capacity Echo Arena.

4saken are currently in the process of releasing the DEBUT E.P "BELIEVE" which features a full revamp of some of their well known songs including ‘Girls are the same to me’ ‘Down For the Love’ and their controversial political single ‘Benefit State’ and will be conducting a month long promotional tour throughout U.K cities from May 8th 2013 including a performance @ The James Bulger Charity Event.
