blackout hip hop

He’s a man with a hip hop pedigree, a DJ since the early ’90s, a British ex-pat living in New York who worked his way up to an album deal with then-cutting edge Elektra Records, for the underrated Here Comes The Fuzz. He’s the kind of guy who signs remarkable rap talent like Wale and Rhymefest to his own label, Allido, while producing for the likes of Lily Allen and Robbie Williams. He’s also the first person (that we know of) to officially remix Bob Dylan (we heard even the Rambling Man himself gave praise). And he still finds time to drop chart-topping albums like 2007’s The Version and working on a forthcoming album that he’s said is his best yet, The Business.
