Pete Cannon and Dr Syntax are well-established names in the British hip hop scene, both as a duo and as solo artists.
Hailing from British towns not exactly synonymous with hip hop pedigree (Blackpool and Banbury respectively), they nevertheless display a knack for crowd-pleasing bangers and on-point rap skills, all delivered with tongues firmly in cheek.
They released their debut album, the aptly-named ‘Killer Combo!’ in 2014, featuring an impressive list of guest vocalists – Del The Funky Homosapien (Gorillaz/Heiroglyphics), Dirty Dike (High Focus) Jehst, Lunar C, Eva Lazarus and Jman.
Dr Syntax cut his teeth touring with legendary rap/dance act Foreign Beggars, after appearing on their debut album ‘Asylum Speakers’ in 2004. He has since released many well-received solo albums, including 2007’s ‘Self Taught’, widely regarded as a UK hip hop classic.
Syntax is also frontman and frequent collaborator with Manchester-based nine-piece hip hop band The Mouse Outfit, regularly smashing club and festival stages across the UK and Europe. Their debut album, ‘Escape Music’, was voted ‘album of the year’ in 2013 by readers of Wordplay (the UK’s foremost hip hop magazine) and was featured by US News website ABC in their list of best worldwide albums of 2013.
Pete Cannon has been making beats for most of his life, and has produced for the likes of Action Bronson, Guilty Simpson, Maffew Ragazino and Punchline (EMC), and has had his music played on none other than DJ Premier’s radio show. He has worked extensively with the UK’s biggest hip hop label, High Focus, and produced a Top 10 chart hit for UK pop sensations Rizzle Kicks (‘Lost Generation’). He also releases more electronic music under the pseudonym Opal Block, on esteemed UK label Astral Black records.
If all that wasn’t enough, he is also known to tear up a rave with an all-vinyl jungle set alongside rising star Jman on MC duties.
He was featured in esteemed US hip hop blog Complex’s ’10 UK Hip Hop Producers You Need To Know’ article in September 2014.
