Enlish - Come On (Prod. Wizard) Free Download

Hailing from about as south of the UK as you can get before dropping off of Land's End (literally), Enlish (AKA Big Dave) left the shores of Cornwall for the shores of Brighton after smashing up the local Hip Hop scene after six or so years of killing shows on the circuit as both an MC and a DJ. 5 years in Brighton, 3 mixtapes, an EP (all received to critical acclaim), numerous guest appearances with the likes of his crew - mates Dr Syntax & Stig Of The Dump on their debut albums and a trip around the world later, Enlish is finally ready to drop his debut single 'Arrogance Is Bliss' on F.U. Music. Produced by Ido and featuring Sean Price (Boot Camp Click), Stig Of The Dump (Lewis Recordings/F.U. Music) and DJ Manipulate (Nausecorps/G.O.D.) on the cuts, the song does exactly what it says on the tin. The imminent release of this single will be quickly followed up with not one, but two LPs dropping simultaneously, 'Cold Lazarus' and 'Rap Ain't Real, My Life Is Real'.

Having been recognised initially for his quick wit, comedic raps and freestyle ability that has seen him blaze trails through opponents in rhyme battles since 1999 right up to the present day, plus a natural charisma that has resulted in his hosting many renowned and successful Hip Hop nights, it was simply a matter of time before Enlish made the transition from live performance and battling to the release of a full length, original project. Having shared stages with many luminaries from the world of Hip Hop, beginning at the age of 15 with Cutmaster Swift, the list includes names such as Jehst, Rodney P & Skitz, Taskforce, Phi Life Cypher, Klashnekoff, Foreign Beggars, Tim Westwood, DJ Format, DJ Yoda, People Under The Stairs, Akil (Jurassic 5), Supernatural, Guru (Gangstarr, RIP), Raekwon (Wu Tang Clan), Inspectah Deck (Wu Tang Clan) and The Clipse to name but a few.

More recently you may have seen or heard of him tearing shows up and down the country as a proud member of TEAM HATE, acting as hype man for Stig Of The Dump with DJ Manipulate controlling things behind the decks.

Now, however, is the time for Enlish's music to speak for itself. Both LPs still retain the comedic essence, hard hitting punchlines and braggadocios, substance abusing capers that dedicated listeners already know and love, but with an added twist, with certain tracks showcasing Enlish's deeper, more reflective and introspective views on life.
