23 year old Edinburgh born Madhat has been writing and producing music for the past 9 years. He started writing raps and experimenting with rhyming while at school. From what started as something to kill time soon became a lot more serious. Aided by his life long friend fellow Edinburgh artist known as Riddlah

the pair began making songs under the name Dark Rumors. Over the next year the two unknown artist's would begin to flood Edinburgh and the internet with their dark and grimey song's about their take on life often mixing the harsh reality of the world as it is and also with a fictional spin at the same time. After starting to make a small buzz on the internet and in the club scene, Dark Rumors were soon signed to Glasgow hip hop label Powercut Productions . Although much work and effort has gone into the Dark Rumors debut album, it has still not been completed and though in the final stages, it is unknown when it will be released. During the making of the Dark Rumor album, Madhat had a little more time on his hands and thus began working on his solo career. Through the club scene and internet Madhat met a lot of other emcees and began to work with a large number of people. Soon his collection of solo songs began to build along with his reputation for hard work and dedication.
