Promising: London rapper Lethal Bizzle

Look here too

It was a motley and slightly freakish entourage that made its way through the crowd for last night's show by Lethal Bizzle, the London rapper who made his name with grime collective, More Fire Crew and is poised for bigger things with the imminent release of a strong new album. Sporting sunglasses and an outrageously large gold chain, Bizzle was flanked by DJ Twister, the diminutive but manic rapper Gambit, and a man whose sole purpose appeared to be standing on the stage being huge.

Containing a large contingent of new fans, the crowd wasn't going to offer its love automatically, but Bizzle's stage presence and hard work soon had the people onside. Frenetic new track Bizzle Bizzle was a resounding success, as was the touchingly-titled Dickhead, on which he and his cohorts delivered quickfire rhymes over a mangled sample of hip-hop classic, It Takes Two.

Babylon's Burning was one of the stronger new tracks, combining frantic, lurching grime beats well with rock samples. Jump, his remake of Jump Around certainly got the crowd going, but since it was essentially a case of Bizzle rapping over a House Of Pain instrumental, how much of the credit he can take is debateable. His new material was full of promise, varied and inventive without selling out his grimey hip-hop roots. Nonetheless, nothing moved the crowd as much as the sheer force and energy of his 2004 hit, Pow!
