Tippa Irie | Black History Month Special | chapter 004
It is black history month in the UK, so I linked up with Tippa Irie from London's world-famous Saxon Sound posse. As someone who wasn't around at the time, I wanted to know about Tippa's journey from Brixton beginnings to world-famous, Grammy-nominated microphone controller.
Saxon Sound toured the globe; from Lewisham to Japan and USA, including the home of it all, Jamaica. Together they pioneered the fast chat style frequently used by jungle MCs (Stephen Marley used it on Rock Stone last year), plus the first British MC's to use London accents and score national chart hits. But their impact and influence still goes largely uncredited by mainstream press.
Tippa shares experiences growing up in Brixton, racism, leaving a Brixton sound for Lewisham-based Saxon, rival sounds, making official Arsenal FA cup 1993 song, fellow members laughing at national top 40 hit "Hello Darling" and lessons learnt after failing to match its success. We end on why he feels Saxon aren't giving their dues. Stay locked.
