RD is a 27 year old MC from East London’s Barking, who started spitting in 2003 inspired by his Dad and uncle also known as the UK’s legendary Ragga Twins. He also took inspiration from the likes of grime MC’s such as Nasty Crew, Roll Deep and Ruff Squad.
Growing up you would never find RD settled in one place. He was quick to catch on to the fast pace of youth club and radio culture, moving around from Barking to Dagenham, Rainham, Hackney, Tottenham and Bow - all on foot! Mentored by older cousins S Kid and Haystee, RD’s name was quickly reaching all for corners of London. Wiser than his years and 14 years deep into the game, RD can easily be considered a veteran even though he’s a self-proclaimed new school MC. Having gained mass respect from the top Grime DJ’s in the industry and on regular rotation on national radio, destroying any cypher he steps into has become easy business for RD.

“In grime, there have been many dynamic duos of brothers. Skepta and Jme, Breeze and Brazen, Crazy Titch and Durrty Goodz. I sat down with another pair, RD and Mr X, whose father is one half of the Ragga Twins. Another impressive musical brotherly bond” - OnceUponAGrime
“No punches are pulled here as they plow into the ears with that classic grime sound mixed with the new age element” - Earmilk
