Artist description A wicked flow and hilarious yet insightful lyrics. This is real hip-hop with a sense of humour. Eminem meets Killah Priest or Redman meets Gangstarr with a definite hint of early Snoop? Unsure of what style to adopt he literally spent years incorporating different aspects of his favourite MCs styles until he found the most universally pleasing combination of styles. He can rap about a variety of philosophical or political subjects then flip the script and spit the sickest, perverse, skunk and insomnia induced shiznit in more rhyming patterns than most MCs have even considered.The fact that this rapper has a degree in English and Philosophy from Keele probably has alot of influence on his rapping style. But the fact that Magic Mushrooms grow all over Keele campus probably had alot more influence! This is in contrast to the squat parties and sub-cultures that the self proclaimed Sub-culture Sith Lord became obsessed with. You can witness the extent of his obsession on his website http://www.redeyejedi.bravepages.com He cites his influences as Public Enemy, A Tribe Called Quest, Jimi Hedrix, Radiohead, De La Soul, Massive Attack, Gangstarr, Wu-tang, Nirvana, Gravediggaz, Big Pun, Redman, Universal soldiers, Skinnyman, the list is endless.

Music Style Funny, poetic, real hip-hop. Smart and funny.

Musical Influences Public Enemy, Redman, Eminem, Jimi Hendrix, Wu-tang Clan, De La Soul, Big Pun, Gangstarr, A Tribe Called Quest, Radiohead, Universal Soldiers, Skinny Man, Tricky, Portishead, Rage Against the Machine, Killah Priest, Grave Diggaz.

Similar Artists Eminem, Roots Manuva, Guru, Dilated Peoples, Cypress Hill, Big Pun, Skinny Man, Mark B and Blade, Outkast and Redman.

Artist History Two demo Cds, performances at Keele, Staffs, Ocean (Hackney), Powerhaus (Finsbury Park), affiliation with Universal Soldiers, Project: Champions and Dupa Styles. From the mid nineties he started to perform at house parties MCing over instrumentals and making a name for himself by being deep for 16 bars and getting silly for the next verse. He was still at school he would do houseparties with a local MC Ricochet unaware that Ricochet would push him to take it seriously. From the mid-late '90s he was bouncing round open mic sessions and by 2000 he had produced two demos. Now Ricochet, with Ultra is one half of Universal Soldiers, London's answer to the Ghost and Rae, one-two punch. A couple of top-shotters with mics and superb multisyllabic flows. They only get great reviews. A.H. Fly who produced both of KPs demos produced both Uni Sols Street Veterans E.P.s. He MCs every two weeks to hip-hop and drum n bass at Junglist Movement in Keele. His web-site http://www.redeyejedi.bravepages.com has thousands of hits so I guess you could say he's getting famous.

Group Members KP (aka Killa Phantom, Redeye Jedi, Mr Elocution the lyrical wizard, the sub-culture Sith Lord, the lyrical ninja, Insane Philosopher etc.) Usually produced by A.H. Fly (a mad genius by the way.)
