MC Wrec - The Great British Moan

MC Wrec gives us his 1st digital only download single, 'The Great British Moan, out on Mums The Word.

At 27 years of age, Jon Bailey, aka MC Wrec is regarded as one of Britain's most exciting young artists and music entrepreneurs. Known as one of the hardest workers on the circuit, this versatile young grafter has shot to fame in recent years after becoming the front man to the award winning live act London Elektricity. With the band Wrec has recorded two live LP's and DVD's, featured on the 2005 studio album and rocked shows from Auckland to Instanbul.

Now Brighton based, Wrec is resident MC to infamous nights including London's Fabric Live and Hospitality, Berlin's The Watergate as well as further residencies in Cardiff, Brighton and Bristol. Now a regular live host and collaborator to acclaimed eclectic acts The Nextmen and The Stanton Warriors, he's toured across the globe - working and touring with the likes of Snoop Dogg, The Beastie Boys, Black Eyed Peas, Soul 11 Soul and The Streets to name only a few.

With releases on labels including Fat City, Hospital and Scenario plus countless mixtape appearances, he featured on last years London Elektricity's 'Power Ballads'LP and is currently locked down recording his debut solo material. He recently leaked his debut solo track 'The Great British Moan'across the web causing ruckus everywhere and over 22,000 listens on his myspace page, not to mention rotation on Radio 1, 1xtra and Kiss FM plus support and acclaim from the likes of DJ Zinc, Rodney P, Dynamite MC, Mista Jam and more. This release is out 21st May 2007 on his own'Mums The Words Records'label.

Known for his hustle and hard work, Wrec has been described by many as one to watch and has received considerable support from some of the industries major players. Difficult to pigeonhole, exciting to listen to, and with fingers in several tasty pies you cant knock his drive or take his eyes off the prize.

 

We reckon that those feeling the darker grime sound of hip hop, garage and breaks but want better lyrics will be into this heavy electrofied number - you can see why DJ Zinc, 1Xtra and Rodney P are loving this. For a full list of everything this guy doesn't like, check The Great British Moan.
