From the age of 15 Oliver Sudden was rhyming on garage on He's sisters kareoke

machine, he used to make tapes with he's pals from school on weekends

but didnt take it too seriously.

When he started college he's knowledge of Hip Hop began to grow

and so did he's rhyme skills.

After being at nearly every open mic at Deal Real Records (R.I.P)

in carnaby street he started to build he's style and practice he's art regulary

with some of U.K's veterans in the Crowd watching, making him super nervous!

But constant microphone torture got him into S.I.N Army a collective of all the crews

from deal real, speakers corner and and other events.

At the time recording tracks with Jon Pathan now a big House Producer, and Jetricks

also now doing very well with he's production.

During these years he was representing The Living Dead, a group of Croydon M.c's

who Brought back the horrorcore.. other members were Indrid Kold, Chad Powerz,

LoveCraft, and a few others were involved.

When he turned 18 he would go to The Black Sheep in Croydon for pound a pint night

on tuesdays, where the dj would play Funk, Soul and Hip Hop allnight, good times..

Oliver's sister introduced him to the dj which was Blue Movies

known at the time as DJ Mek, they got chatting and a couple of weeks later he

called Oliver over and played him a beat he made that he wanted some rhymes on.

It was a BANGER! and they started work soon after.

They released the first mixtape in February 2006 called "What D'you know bout Croydon?"

18 tracks of Oliver rapping angry boyish rhymes over random instrumentals from

Prodigy to Yes to Kelis..?

followed by the second installment in December 2006 called "The Transition"

a much more serious 14 track release of mostly origional production by Blue Movies.

And released on cd aswell on Dhobi Records.

He started to play more shows and organising and promoting a monthly night

in the Black Sheep Bar Croydon called Bangers.

This has been a big part of Oliver's career, the highs and the lows..

Booking some of the uk's finest acts over the 5 years and succesfully organising

some massive events. But after the success of the event

it was time to make a success of the artist inside and get back in the studio.

In August 2008 he realeased a Compilation called "The Slog"

Which was the first product he was 100% happy with. Produced By Blue Movies, and Deft.

And First video for "Keep Smiling" From The Slog was out in early 2009.

"The Vintage Fly E.P" produced by The Lazy Technician came out in may 2009

a 7 track mix of hard hitting boom bap along with some B-boy breaks freshly

chopped and bashed out in the M.P.C.

During 2009 there was a circle of B-Boys at Black Sheep Bar every saturday.

Oliver would go down and see that sometimes there was no Dj.. just an Ipod playlist

or a cd playing. As he had been collecting records for a number of years

he thought he should have a go at spinning for the B-Boys,

and so he's Dj career began. Since then Oliver has been playing in a number

of High Profile venues and Festivals around London and the U.k.

Also Started a monthly event at Scream Lounge South Croydon,

called Vintage Fly with The Lazy Technician and Mr Gats.

This event went well but the demand for a live Hip Hop monthly led to

changing the event to B.D.C Boogie Down Cronx which was a hit, free entry

live hip hop on the weekend.

Also now teamed up with Jda kut from sensei.fm to organise EarWax at The Hive in Brixton.

Another night of guest Dj's and an open mic cypher.

2012 saw the attack that Oliver was building up to..

Vintage Fly II with The Lazy Technician was out on CCRD in 2011

and the recordings had been stacking up over the last year.

2012 saw the release of..

Oliver Sudden & Steady Rock - The Shutdown EP - out Jan 12 on BBP Recordings - boombap.bandcamp.com

The Self produced EP - Deliver Sound - out May 12 on CCRD

Waste Not want Not LP with I.M.S - out Oct 12 on Starch Music - starch-records.com

and the Phenomenal Steaz LP - out Dec 12 also on BBP Recordings

plus numerous other features on other artists albums and mixtapes.

It has been said that Oliver Sudden created the scene in Croydon,

linking all artists as one under the crue Croydon Council, sharing links

and booking he's local talented people for any gigs he could get.

Managing projects for Venomus Vocalz and linking the crue and other artists

with M.C.s, Promoters, Producers, and good people to know from all over.

A known Hard worker making things happen for himself and he's people,

that should be recognised as a key figure U.K Hip Hop.

Often thought of as just a DJ, promoter or manager he is without doubt one of the

most skilled m.c's adapting to all tempo's and Styles,

definatly underated and slept on by too many.
