Queens English - a high-octane live Hip Hop crew from South-East London and Winners of the Peoples Music Awards 2010.

Touring and gig veterans, QE have proved time and again that compromise is not an option, breaking out with their unparalleled live shows that have fans and promoters, the country over clamouring for more.

Drawing their influences from stars of the world stage such as Saian Supa Crew, Eminem, Jay-Z, Non-Phixion and I.AM, Queens English fuse samples with raps, claps and hi-hats, showcasing to hungry audiences the best of what Hip Hop is capable of.

QE is a five-strong group of writers, producers and artists � Lyricists Sherlock and Leon Rhymes, bounce off of the soulful tones of MC Source and the beatbox genius of Pikey Esquire (UK Beatbox 2006 & 2010 finalist), a package tied together by the stone-cold hands of DJ-Producer Something Else.

Playing alongside fellow UK breakout artists such as Foreign Beggars, Gentlemans Dub Club, Magnetic Man, Chase and Status and The Correspondents, Queens English has found itself a niche in the educated new-wave of young people who refuse to be spoon-fed pre-packaged lifestyles and mediocre music. Our following grows exponentially with every live gig, and we are blessed with a dedicated core fan-base which lovingly stalks us across electoral boundaries.

Over the last 6 years, the band has played across the UK and Europe, at events as diverse as Secret Garden Party, Wychwood Festival, Cloud9, Beach Break Live, the inaugural Outlook festival in Croatia and Kosovo�s Freedom Festival as well as many regional circuits and a tour of Sweden.

Recently, Queens English launched their latest single, �New Balance� to an over-capacity house at Shoreditch�s Favela Chic � the group filmed the promotional video in the sun-baked region of Spain�s Valencia, and various incarnations of its viral campaign have attracted hundreds of views in under a few short months.
