about

“Ninja Tune - Two decades of mixes and mash-ups", Matt Black of Ninja Tune/Coldcut fame says: "A journalist called Geoff Wilkinson reviewed DJ Food and said that he loved all the jazz breaks but suggested we put a rap on it. We asked if he knew anyone suitable and he made a track with Colin Crook – NW1 and Born 2 B's "The Band Played the Boogie". On the basis of that they signed to Blue Note and became US3. We were a bit gutted actually! But that showed us that there was pop mileage in what we were doing and that it was a direction that perhaps had bigger appeal than we realised."”
David Taylor - THE INDEPENDENT

“Born 2 B is a Rapper / Producer / Songwriter who has already proved himself to be a leader on the British Hip Hop scene with his nineties Jazz-Rap classic ‘The Band Played The Boogie’ on which he featured with NW1 for Coldcut’s Ninja Tune Records. With exceptional sales in the UK, Europe, Japan and the USA, plus mass coverage from MTV, Radio One and Kiss FM, Born 2 B is a recognised member of the U.K. Rap fraternity.”
