D Double E – real name Darren Dixon – has been living and breathing music since he was 16.

Emerging from jungle in the late nineties, he formed Newham Generals with Footsie, and has been cranking out the rhymes ever since.

Dubbed one of the greatest ever grime MCs by his peers, his restless style, character and flow has seen him influence some of the scene’s biggest names, from Dizzee Rascal to newcomer Stormzy.

We were lucky to catch him at the latest PRS for Music Presents event, which he headlined last month.
