Big N Bashy entertainment...
It's rare that a Hip Hop artist can break out from the pack and appeal to all sides of an ever expanding genre... from backpackers, to gangsters, ballers to shotcallers... the list is not long compared to the list of artists the scene has seen come and go!
Probably the two most easily recognisable on a worldwide scale have been Biggie & Jay... reaching back to the UK it's even harder to pick anyone! Most British artists clearly stand with both feet in either the commercial mainstream or the underground...
Fallacy has been one artist who at least on paper has defied the curse of 'Real UK Hip Hop' from signing a major label deal with Virgin records to producing club anthems like The Groundbreaker & Big N Bashy Ft Tubby T...
Everything looked set to blow for Fallacy in 2003, even with a rumoured Mercury Music Prize nomination (the same year that a young Dizzee Rascal took the award!)
Suddenly he disappeared off the scene just as the grassroots promo was supposed to begin for his debut album Black Market Boy. I had been booked to DJ at one of his promo shows in Bristol that September - but his management pulled him from the line-up last minute!
Rearing his head up every now & again to drop one-away promos & a mixtape (Clash Me) it is only now that Fallacy is officially releasing himself back into public. Having previously dropped tracks that have had impact in genres such as Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Dancehall, UK Garage & of course traditional Hip Hop...
Graceful In Death promises to be a welcome return for an artist whose base genre some feel has been made irrelevant by the emergence of the UK Grime scene and it's generation... though Fallacy is one artist who always sat comfortable whatever side of the fence.
