Boy Better Know

Boy Better Know is an English grime group and record label. The group was founded in North London by Jme alongside his brother Skepta in 2005 as an independent record label and a means to publish their music.

History

In the early nineties, Meridian Crew, consisting of MCs President T, Skepta, JME, Big H, Bossman Birdie and Paper Pabs, regularly appeared on pirate radio stations including Heat FM and later on Déjà Vu FM. In 2005 Meridian Crew dissolved after affiliates of the crew were convicted on attempted murder charges. After this event Jme founded BBK alongside his brother Skepta while other Meridian members reformed as Bloodline Family.

In its early period "Boy Better Know" was well known for its line of eponymous T-shirts. The crew also had a regular show on Rinse FM with DJ Maximum. Jme's debut album Famous? was released on the label in 2008. "Too Many Man", the first single from the album, was released on 25 May 2009. The song is also featured on the Wiley and Skepta albums, Race Against Time and Microphone Champion, respectively. The song was written because of Skepta's annoyance over 'the lack of women in clubs'. It entered the UK Singles Chart on 6 June 2009 at #97, reaching #79 the next week. The second single from the album V.I.P, titled "Goin' In", was released for download on iTunes on 13 December 2009.

Logan Sama

Logan Sama, formerly known as Larry Longtime, real name Larry Sanders is an English Grime DON from Brentwood, Essex. He has appeared regularly throughout his career on iconic radio stations Rinse , Kiss FM and BBC Radio 1Xtra. He also runs the record labels Adamantium Music and Earth616 which specialise in vinyl releases and founded KeepinItGrimy, a website focussing on Grime news.

He began his radio career on local pirate station Plush FM hosting several cover shows playing underground Garage in 2002. Towards the end of 2002 he was recruited to London then-pirate station Rinse FM where his show became a popular place to hear the newest music and regularly featured the biggest MCs performing live. His last Rinse show was captured on video on the Rinsessions DVD and showcased such names as Wiley, Skepta, Trim, Ruff Sqwad, Tinchy Stryder, Newham Generals and many others.

He moved to London's Kiss 100 in the spring of 2005 and began a late night specialist Grime show running from 2-4am on Thursday night/Friday morning. The popularity of this show soon saw it move to Monday night 11pm-1am where it has steadily grown to its current position as the leading show amongst young people within London at that time, capturing over 61,000 listeners in the Greater London area as certified by RAJAR. His exposure of live mix sets and first played new tracks has led to him becoming the leading figure in radio for Grime music. His shows are now also captured on video and streamed as YouTube clips which have proved very popular.
