Dirty Dike Is the filthiest rapper in the game – F A C T.

Full time Contact Play spokesperson and SMB chief executive, Mr Dirty Dike has been a rap merchant since the days when a ten deck of B&H cost £1.32 and Noel Edmonds was still bezzie mates with Mr Blobby.

You might find him kicking bars in your kitchen; if he’s not doing that you might find him kicking bars in your garden shed; if he’s not doing that you may find him painting a huge mural of a fuck walrus on the side of your house – he’s nice like that. If (in the unlikely event) that he is not doing any of said previous activities, he will most likely be sat in his yard writing verses, locked in the booth at Melonskin Studios or tearing up live performances up and down the country.

Born and raised in the Hip Hop mecca that is Cambridge, Dirty Dike first rose to prominence with his underground prolificness, fearless freestyle verve and acclaimed debut solo album ‘Bogies and Alcohol’. Aggressive expansion saw Dike later join forces with Jam Baxter, Ronnie Bosh, Mr Key and Edward Scissortongue to form the much heralded hip hop super outfit Contact Play whose debut release ‘Champion Fraff’ was hailed as one of the most exciting releases that the UK Hip Hop scene had witnessed in years. The success of Champion Fraff, combined with one of the rowdiest live shows on the circuit, has led the group up the motorways and down the train tracks of the UK playing shows and supporting some of the finest hip-hop talent from both sides of the Atlantic en route.

The most significant thing that sets Dike apart from most other rappers is that he is no part-timer; Dike really does eat, sleep and breathe rap. Discontent with riding the one album wave Dike’s sophomore solo effort ‘Constant Dikestar’ is out now on High Focus Records.
