Widely recognised as one of the pioneers of double-time chat in jungle drum & bass, Stevie Hyper D helped to elevate the profile of the MC beyond host to that that of lyricist.

Hyper D was a charismatic, energetic MC, famed for his originality, versatility and catchphrase “Junglists, are you ready?!”

He sadly passed away in 1998, but this icon of drum & bass has gone on to influence and inspire countless MCs that have followed.
