Biography
Jammer was a member of the East London group N.A.S.T.Y Crew from 2000, and released a single under his own name, "Take U Out", in 2003 before departing from the group.[3] He signed with Big Dada Recordings and released his first full-length, Jahmanji, in May 2010.[4][5][6][7][8] In 2014, Jammer released what was meant to be his first album entitled "Top Producer" for free, in which all the tracks were recorded between 2004–2006.[9] Jammer is a supporter of Arsenal F.C.[10]
Lord of the Mics
Jammer created the influential grime DVD series in his basement. During a cursing match with one of his friends, he envisioned the set up in his basement to be perfect for hosting clashes. This series skyrocketed in popularity following the famous clashes of Lord of the Mics 1 between Wiley and Kano, and Lord of the Mics 2 between Skepta and Devilman.[11]
