TC ISLAM (NYC)
This man requires no introduction.T.C. IZ is the messenger of Stateside Jungle Drum and Bass music, bringing it to all corners of the world. He is one of the most recognized stateside names, most commonly associated

IZ was born and raised with the sounds and the principles of the Zulu Nation. Stepping out of his father's footsteps, T.C. IZ breaking down the boundaries as he creates the Hip-Step sound. Combining the sounds of Drum n' Bass and Hip-Hop, T.C. IZ

Tc is currently spinning Konkrete Jungle in fact creating his own pipeline, promoting KJ nights throughout the states Monday through to Sunday - he is definatly proving himself to be The Don Dj as well as mc. So when you see the Tc just walk up and kindly say "Good evening mr ambassador"
DYER (UK)
Dyer is one of London's first female MCs, and possibly also one of a few responsible for setting the precedent for those that followed.
She began on the capital's various pirate stations, those now accredited for the discovery of a plethora of artists currently at the forefront of Garage/Grime and Jungle/D&B scenes, at a time when the MCing artform was more raw and not yet the subject of any media exposure. At that time Jungle was the only genre other than HipHop to offer MCs any sort of platform.
Presently Dyer contributes to female underground artist databases worldwide, and also assisting the building of a fast growing genre and global community that is HIPSTEP (Hiphop Influenced Production Stimulating Earths People). Due to the steepness of the mountain she climbs. Dyer has evolved into her own engine with many talents, angles and rich diversity. In a nutshell: a product packed and good to go!
