ARTISTS
SHOW IN SHOPProducer/DJ/emcee Styly Cee has been instrumental in providing Son Records with fat hip-hop instrumentals from day one, and is responsible for many of the classic tracks on the label, including production for artists like C-Mone, Cappo, Midnyte as well as being one-half of group Lost Island. He is also the brains behind the notorious comic creation Pitman, producing all the misanthropic miner’s prolific output: a string of classic 7” singles, 2 albums, original tracks for Pitman’s recurring spot on a satirical topical affairs programme on BBC TV (‘The State We’re In’), and shows in front of packed crowds the length and breadth of the country.
'Brilliant. Its ludicrously funny, but its also pertinent, insightful, satirical and seriously funky. The Streets don't even come close. Absolute class.'
(Time Out)
'There is genius at work here, albeit of a curious & unhinged kind.'
(The Times)
(quoted from reviews for Pitman’s debut album ‘It Takes A Nation of Tossers’)
Aside from finding acclaim in the mainstream for his first class hip-hop production on a crossover tip, Styly has always kept one Adidas clad foot firmly in the hip-hop underground and has been celebrated as one of the UK’s premier hip-hop producers, with releases licensed for various compilations, videogames (an unreleased track of his featured on the Xbox 360 game ‘Project Gotham Racing 3’) and films (including pioneering underground UK hip-hop film ‘Rage’, and the recent Universal-distributed film ‘Life & Lyrics’). His productions have also graced literally hundreds of hours of MTV programming, including ‘Pimp My Ride’ (both US & UK versions), Room Raiders, Driven & many many more).
