One of the most influential British rap groups of all time, London Posse, return thirty years after their debut single, 'My Beatbox Reggae Style'. The four-piece managed to change the rap game in Britain forever by rhyming in Ragga style using their own thick London accents, in favour of the Americanised style that other rappers on the scene were imitating and popularising.
This original and innovative style of hip hop is widely used by acts such as Stormzy and Dizzee Rascal today, the emcees responsible for Uk rappers trusting in their own style which led to the development of grime genre over a decade after the group first started out.
