The Amp Man, The Compare, The Host and much more, with his unique style of delivery and a lyrical content that’s fresh, upfront and relevant, where he spits “The reality known to him” he not only has an innate understanding of the music and what the DJ plays but the ability to connect with the crowd and link them together as one. An MC who is respected and loved in equal measures by the DJ’s and ravers alike is a rare thing indeed but 2Shy does this with ease due to his natural talent and stellar stage presence.
