ABOUT MCD'I don't feel no MC like I feel MCD' - Rodney P, DedicationAsk anyone who knows hiphop to name their favourite British artists and MCD is guaranteed a mention. He is the artist's artist, recognised and respected across the UK scene. Even before he signed his first album deal with Island Records back in '94 his reputation preceded him. His now legendary performance at Brixton Fridge where he upstaged the headline act is enthusiastically recalled to this day by those who witnessed it. With the Island deal came the opportunity for MCD to reach a wider audience, while touring with Public Enemy he spread his uncompromising and often controversial but conscious message through tracks like Don't Judge a Book by it's Cover.In his live shows the audience is transfixed by the intensity and sheer power of his performance, but what comes over strongest and may indeed be the key to his appeal is the honesty and conviction you feel in his lyrics. In a genre where 'realness' is bandied around as the primary and most essential element in an artists persona but so often seems to be lacking in the final product, MCD demonstrates it's true meaning and importance.MCD is out on Mouthwatering Records and distributed worldwide by OUR-Distributionline image gif
