English hip hop started in the mid-80s, with rappers such as Derek B, MC Mello, 3 Wize Men, Cookie Crew, and DJs such as Coldcut and Simon Harris. Derek B was the first English rapper to be signed by a major label (according to Dufresne). While rappers such as Derek B were stylistically very close to their American predecessors, others developed new styles, such as Hijack and Gunshot with their no-holds-barred hardcore rap, the Stereo MC's and MC Mello with their own soulful brand of hip hop, and Asher D and Daddy Freddy with their raggamuffin hip hop, which was quite different from similar American rap/reggae styles. The influence of reggae proved to be very productive, from the London Posse to the more recent Blak Twang and Roots Manuva. |
