Lethal remembers when he was a mad little kid, discovering the magic of ‘Grandmaster Flash’ and his legendary record ‘The Message’. This led to a remarkable childhood, collecting a fantastic box of ‘old school vinyl’. It soon became apparent that he had a natural ability to master the art of the MC. This fueled his interest in a more intense fashion as he journeyed through his school years.
Looking back Lethal reminisces “I sold my toys to buy Hip Hop albums when I was six! He Man and Star Wars toys were soon replaced with albums on the Def Jam label. ‘In my late primary school years Hip Hop was beginning its growth in popularity. I was watching TV one Saturday morning when suddenly it was announced that they were running a Rap slot for my age group. I eagerly started writing a short rhyme and drew some pictures and sent them to the show. I received quite quickly the invitation to appear live on ‘The 8.15 From Manchester”.
“It was also around this period that I received a birthday present. This was a 4-track studio mixer. Four Mics and four channels that gave me the ability to start recording some of my early ideas”. “By the time I reached secondary school at the age of 11, I had hooked up with a heavy street crew in London. They were impressed by my vocal delivery and allowed me to sit in with them as they built tracks in their home studio.” ‘Meanwhile, back at my new school it was wicked to find that there was a school radio station in operation. Due to my knowledge of the music I was able to get involved in my first year. Weekends and school holidays were often spent traveling up to London to the home studio. I was only about 12 when my first professional track was released on the Red Ninja EP’.
Destruction’s childhood is one of the same passions. However, it was the movie, ‘Wild Style’ that fired his imagination. His favorite scene was that of ‘Grandmaster Flash’ displaying his incredible skills ‘cutting up records on three turntables’. Within a short time a pair of budget priced record decks and a mixer were the focus point in his bedroom, thus saving his parents Hi-Fi from further damage. Every spare moment was used learning the art of scratch mixing. Within a few years he entered his first DMC mixing championship, reaching the UK finals. As often happens in stories such as this, there is often a chance meeting which sets off a long-term musical journey. A generation ago two kids in their teens got real excited about each other’s record collection. This is the famous anecdote of the very young Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. Such was the twist as a teenage Lethal walked into a local record shop and spied a mix tape produced by DJ Destruction. This set off a phone call and the die was cast.
Lethal having had the luxury of using the Red Ninja studio was very keen for Destruction to start making beats. Destruction was of the same opinion, by now he owned a massive record collection that would certainly get him on his way to digging in the crates and start making tracks. This led to getting the basic equipment and calling on his friends who already had studios in the local area. Their natural flair saw them speed along. Their chemistry and understanding resulted in some brand new tunes. With great things on the horizon, another chance meeting opened the doors for bigger things. Drum N Bass producer Adam-F had sold the idea to EMI Records of producing a big concept album featuring some of the best Hip Hop artists in America. Through a mutual friend, he listened to the recent Lethal and Destruction stuff and loved it so much that he invited Destruction to do all the additional production on the entire album.
Whilst the ‘Kaos’ album was in its planning and production stages, Lethal whizzed through a three-year degree in Commercial Music at Westminster University. All the young years immersed in making music gave Lethal the opportunity to be picked out of literally hundreds of hopefuls. The ‘Kaos’ album was a fantastic project that took forever to complete. As explained, Lethal used the time to good effect obtaining his degree. During this time a close colleague of Lethal’s was brought in to investigate the opportunity to run DJ/MC workshops whereby skills learnt could be shown to the Urban youth around the local region. This has been a tremendous success, gaining support and funding from The Princes Trust, The National Lottery and other schemes. This continues to grow as we speak
At this time Lethal was also looking to expand his horizons. Through a connection, he hooked up a meeting with award winning Drum N Bass MC Skibadee. This was a pivotal moment, as Skibadee was very busy at that time recording Hip Hop tracks that showcased his writing ability. Down the line, this has led to the critically acclaimed ‘Ringleaders’ Project spearheaded by Lethal and Skibadee. Lethal and Destruction have always been personally motivated to raise the bar of their individual skills. Destruction is almost unique in this country, in that he has had the opportunity to work in some of the top New York Studios with the likes of Redman, De La Soul, LL Cool J, MOP and many more. His finest moment was sitting in an L.A studio with the legendary Bernie Grundman (of Dr Dre fame) for the mastering of the ‘Kaos’ album. Meanwhile, Lethal had been honing his rhyming skills by working with Skibadee, Durrty Goodz and Canibus up at the PP Studios, which were always seeing hot talent passing through.
