"Call it what you like rock, grime, hip hop, anything. This is just British music, completely homegrown. I just don't get UK MCs who talk all American, it's just fake!
"I'm saying lyrics that people can understand. I'm talking normally, like I would do to anyone on the street." - Bruza
MC from East London whose profile has risen quickly over the last two years.
Learnt his MC skills within the drum & bass and jungle scene as a member of Reckless Crew along with some hi-octane slots on pirate Rinse FM.
In 2003 Bruza hooked up with MC Triple Threat to start honing his own MC style.
Then he linked up with producer Terror Danjah, and Flash who was just setting up a new label, Aftershock.
The first tune to come out of his link with Aftershock was Bruzin, with Triple, Footsie and Shizzle.
His profile raised when he clashed with Crazy Titch on Raw Mission FM for their Christmas 2003 show.
