MC Stevie Hyper D (R.I.P)

The Origin of the modern day MC.

Stevie's style was fast paced and fresh and when he started chatting people hadn't really heard anything of this calibre before. He combined dance hall style and double time lyrics to literally leave crowds in awe. This guy was simply on another level.

From Fulham in south west London, he came up through the acid techno scene in the late 80's and early 90's first making an impact with the release of techno ragga alongside appolo 440. Soon he was getting bookings for raves like Telepathy, Labyrinth, Elevation and Utopia and was resident MC at Roast.

He soon became the main event MC'ing alongside the likes of Micky Finn, Nicky Blackmarket and Andy C and was the first name punters looked for at any DnB event. Stevie knew how to control the dance, work with the DJ and blend with the music. He could run a rave the whole night straight. By 1996 he was the biggest MC in the game getting booked all over the UK, Europe and Canada and smashing up Kool FM and other regional pirates.

Tragedy struck on July 4th 1998, Stevie Hyper D died of a heart attack the morning after performing at a rave in Maidstone, Kent, coincidently on the same night as friend and fellow MC Ruff. Many rumours surfaced around the time of Stevie's death, but it is widely accepted that he died as a result of a pre existing heart condition. The scene had lost two of its biggest soldiers and they have been sorely missed ever since. Even now his tribute raves are sell out roadblock events and his name still rings out from mc's across the world paying their respect.
