DJ Pressure X was a long established member of Kool FM. Skibadee was in his early days on Kool FM. Before he had established partnerships with MC Det (2 x Freestyle) and Shabba D (SASASAS).
These were exciting beginnings, when Jungle music was at its height in 1990s before its transformation to Drum & Bass. This was when pirate stations only broadcast during the weekend only, from Friday to Sunday and public/bank holidays. Kool FM 94.5 was the centre for underground musical talent. Its contribution to London and UK music is immense. They held chockablock roadblock ram jam events like., Jungle Fever and Kool Skool.
Note there are Kool FM adverts in-between the recording. To those of you that remember the nights at like Tribal Motion, Jungle Magic & Desert Storm, The Designer Label Ball, Thunder & Joy, New Jack City and many more.
MC Skibadee would later go on to achieve incredible things, literally sweeping all the Jungle and DNB Awards and gaining all the accolades. He certainly loved by the Junglist ravers and inspired the next generation of new MCs not only in the Jungle/Drum & Bass scene but also the UK Garage and Grime Movement. In recent years with sweeping success of the SASASAS on the DNB scene his popularity has grown but this has sharply met with many critics. Wrongly or rightly, what they seem to forget is the dedication, the evolution of MCing and the contribution to underground rave music in the UK and around the worldwide. MC Skibadee is a national treasure and what he stands for is far from negative, his positivity and good energy throughout his career is something admirable and worthy of saluting. Regardless of if you don't appreciate MCs or Jump Up Jungle music, credit is due along with tantamount of respect for MC Skibadee, MC Shabba D and MC Det who changed the face of MCing in the 90s. Rest In Peace Stevie Hyper D also a legend of the scene. You'll never be forgotten. Your legacy lives on.
