Thingy that Dicky wrote about Dicky.

Born and bred in Brighton Town, that crazy night weathered, club ridden idiot-ville, Freecy D aka Uncle Dicky got into music at a young age.

The music is a passion and a hobby, a chance to socialise and dance, stagger and stumble, fly and fall. Enter the world of Uncle Dicky, from the dizzy heights to the spinning whities.

However, it wasn’t until college that Freecy D finally found his feet by meeting a group of friends that would soon become the formidable but retchworthy ‘Lost Souls’ (H.P., Mr.J., Biji Talls, Reps, Witchdoctor Wise, Dan Fresh, Freecy D and Tom Simpson). He began, in-between getting uncontrollably mashed, writing tune after tune of dancefloor oriented, ill-humoured bangers.

As well as featuring with that merry band of drunken reprobates The Lost Souls on numerous mix tapes and 12’s. They also started playing as many shows as they could lay their greasy little paws on. These included supporting, to mention but a few: Task Force, Roots Manuva, Blak Twang, Rodney P, and long time daddies Public Enemy and The Beatnuts.

Lost Souls was a force to be reckoned with and, still carries clout in the scene today. Their reunion party in Brighton recently was a mind-melting bangerthon.

It wasn’t until moving to London with half of the Lost Souls (Reps, Dan Fresh And occasionally Witchdoctor Wise) that Freecy D became churning out ‘proper’ songs with the soon to be ‘Skillmega’. He Honed his skills as a rapper, focusing on a whole new trickle of styles. On top of this Skillmega brought onboard and added extra umph with Poland’s No.1 rapper/producer, O.S.T.R. for beats and the cider sloshing, cool cutting genius of D.J. Rod Dixon (the switchblade). A new era was born.

Though it wasn’t until their sell-out Polish tour (supporting O.S.T.R. playing numerous festivals including one with Sean Paul) that the hunger along with the mixed fresh styles, locked tight shows with tight flows. Skillmega’s debut album is out now, so check it out, its sick!!!

This led Freecy D (aka Uncle Dicky the Drunken Uncle aka Trickshot) to ponder relentlessly in a haze of his own putridness about his freaky thoughts and ill rhyming technique. Having already performed solo gigs in Tokyo (that’s Japan fools) and Norway it was clear. Hence before he knew it he was sitting in his flat with a self-styled mix tape style album close to completion and writing this blurb about his history pretending to be an over-generous music critique, writing a blurb about my history (am I just really stoned or is this one of those paradox thingy-ma-jigs).

Erm… Anyway I guess I should just carry on. So the mix tapes’ nearly done and, Oh my gosh, it’s a slammer. its got Nozeeny on it and Reps, Wisey, even Rup the Cnut. Who else ?… Oh yeah, it’s produced by ‘The Blow Sack’ Biji Talls from Lost Souls and the original dour northern bastard, lazyb0nez. So hold tight, its coming soon!

Big-up Flash Fry.

Gunna sizzle for life.

P.s. I wrote this little verse. why not.

The devil’s been dishevelled my God its been detested,
That’s why I always play the songs that my friends requested,
That’s why I lay at home at night tryin’ to find the best bits,
So when I release the beat its tried and tested.
I’m doin’ somethin’ special like what Jo Guest did,
To peeps across the land in their festering cess pits,
So lets order another round of Nes-Quick and Vodka,
N’ we can talk n’ talk about who is the best brit,
But all the M.C.‘s out there are sounding too desperate,
Tryin’ to make some money off a remix on Westwood.
So all you little big men with your hoodies and scarves,
Don’t you know music is about having a laugh?
Stop treatin’ your crew like this is work and their staff,
Try to chill out, have a smoke in the bath,
It usually works for me and I can see the right path,
N’ then your funny five might last an hour and a half.
