Dirty Dike

http://www.myspace.com/dikestarakadirtydike "I'm DIRTY DIKE aka The Porkswordsman! I make up pages of rhyming words then record them. I got into the whole flipflop thing as a young scallywag that was immediately hooked on all the naughty swear words and graffiti. It wasnt until my mum confiscated my Onyx - Bakdafukup album that I realised I actually like the music too! Some years and months and weeks later I found myself being stitched up in a nightclub for selling boogleland mudcloths and ended up serving a bit of time at her majesties pleasure.

Pete Rock & CL Smooth

Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth were an influential rap group from Mount Vernon, New York. They made their debut in the rap world with their 1991 EP, All Souled Out. It sold moderately well enough to justify Elektra Records clearing the way for 1992's Mecca and the Soul Brother LP.
As a producer, DJ Pete Rock (Peter Phillips) tended to prefer obscure soul and jazz sides for sample sources, frequently making use of horn-driven hooks.
