Fast forward to 2011, to Hip-Hop and Bashment's British rebirth on the streets of south London – courtesy of Jimmy Screech, MC, rapper and producer. With a bit of help from his friend Rodney Smith, aka Roots Manuva, Jimmy is going to bring a happy mix of Hip-Hop, Bashment, and Dubstep to the mainstream, delivering a very London take on a sound entrenched in a rich, mixed, musical heritage.
Try to categorise Jimmy Screech, though, and you won’t get very far. Yes, it's easy to hear that he wears some of his influences on his sleeve (Tipper Irie, Public Enemy, the Wailers, Jay-Z, Bob Dylan), and he is thankful artists such as Sean Paul have made contemporary dancehall go global. But Jimmy is fresh, unique and driven to succeed. "When I was a kid," he says, "the only music I heard playing on my estate was Reggae and Hip-Hop. It used to bounce off the concrete and resonate all around -- I guess that's why my sound has such deep roots in both genres."
Jimmy – who was first discovered by Roots Manuva in 2005 -- and has since toured with him, as well as with artists as diverse as Ghostface Killah, the Dub Pistols and US hip-hop group Ugly Duckling in the past 24 months -- explains that the scene he grew up in will always be essential to his music going forward...
