So Solid Crew are an English UK garage, grime and hip hop group originating from Battersea, South London, England, whose hits include "Oh No (Sentimental Things)" and "21 Seconds", the latter reaching number one in the UK Singles Chart in August 2001. Another hit, "They Don't Know", reached number three in November 2001 and "Haters" got to number eight in January 2002. "Ride Wid Us" was less successful (UK number 19 in April 2002). They released a single, "Broken Silence" which spoke out about government prejudice which they felt they had faced.
Before breaking into the mainstream market, SSC had been involved with many pirate radio stations in London, such as Supreme FM and Delight FM (103.0 MHz). It was at Delight where they made their name, occupying most of the Sunday schedule, the so-called "So Solid Sundays". From around lunchtime until 10pm, there were shows from different members, where the various SSC DJs would play 2-step garage tracks. At times the SSC emcees would rap on top of the tracks for up to two hours each session. On Christmas Day in 2001, SSC performed their last Sunday show on the station.
If I never been seen never heard

To make you feel good inside now

So ravers tell me do you like?
When I was a kid like in my younger days, a craze
Was a raggedy down with a phase, a phase
Me and my crew, wanted to be like the craze
And play for double dance, with my face
Were the days of the bugger buggies, and of my jeeps
Kinda the cash and the bass from the place
My teacher gave me straight A's
From the kid, listen to the sound that I'm giving you
Gonna make you break dance digga do
Listen carefully, to my life story
Alpha-bet-ic-ally
R, as we represent the fact, that Romeo's here, then
O, as we go on and on, don't have no fear, then
M, what M stands for more, with the mix in store, then
E, as you notice the energy, stamp your feet on the floor, then
O, stands for Oh no time to go, my lyrical flow
Vocal sounds of the Romeo
If you don't know
