Scrufizzer's Music Journey

Scrufizzer is part of a music group called Funkystepz. He released his first mixtape, My First Steps, in 2007. A mixtape is like an album, often released for free, to show off new music.

Many famous artists and DJs supported his music. These included Zane Lowe, Annie Mac, Dizzee Rascal, Ed Sheeran, and Wiley. Scrufizzer has performed with big names like Wiley and DJ Cameo. He even opened shows for Kendrick Lamar across the UK.

BBC Radio 1Xtra DJ, DJ Cameo, joined Kendrick Lamar's tour as Scrufizzer's DJ. DJ Cameo has called Scrufizzer his "protégé," meaning someone he guides and teaches. In 2013, a music review said Scrufizzer had "the quickest flow in the game." This means he could rap very fast. He quickly became one of the most exciting new artists in the grime music scene.

Working with Other Artists

Scrufizzer has worked on songs with many well-known artists. These include "Guts N' Glory" by Dizzee Rascal and "Werkin Girls" by Angel Haze. He also featured on "Kingpin" by DJ Friction & Skream.

His Unique Style

Scrufizzer is known for his special "fizzy flow." He mixes rap with modern grime music. Because of his unique sound, The Guardian newspaper named him one of the "ones to watch in 2013." This meant they thought he would become very popular.

His first official song, "Rap Rave," came out in January 2013. It was released by Stay Fizzy Records and Ministry of Sound. The Independent newspaper said Scrufizzer was one of the most highly rated young MCs in the new wave of music. "Rap Rave" was produced by Paperbwoy. It showed off Scrufizzer's clear "fizzy flow" and rapping skills. In early 2013, BBC 1xtra's Nick Bright said Scrufizzer was the fastest rapper in the UK.

Signing with Labels and Chart Success

In May 2013, Scrufizzer signed with Black Butter Records. This label is part of Polydor Records. He then released the song "Kick It" in October 2013. The song reached number 43 on the UK Singles Chart. The music video for "Kick It" was filmed in LA. It was directed by Mister Whitmore and featured a fun tribute to an old music video by Robert Palmer.
