DJ Sure Shot began his Hip Hop musical career in 1979, having a regular supply of under-ground WHBI rap sessions and mixed tapes. Before that he was the record crate/ speaker box carrier and the occasional stand-in dj for his fathers sounds system, originally from Jamaica, called the Jet Set in the early 70's which specialised in Funk, Doo Wop & Reggae/Ska. Although being a skilled ‘rock’ drummer his first love for the art came in 1980 when he won a local competition for re-sighting the entire ‘Christmas Rap’ by Kurtis Blow live on his local radio station.

As time went by Sure Shot became fascinated with the technology behind the creation of Hip Hop music. In1982 he had his first drum machine (The Sound Master Memory Rhythm SR-88), which was loaned to him by a bunch of Punk Rock student friends who lived across the road from him.

It wasn’t too long before he pioneered the art of mixing drum breaks with this pre-historic drum machines. He was a perfectionist and was not happy with how MC’s would flow on his production so he decided to do it himself. His rhyme flow and delivery was noticed and before long he was branded an Mc till the industry professionals realised he was the creator of the powerful rhythms that supported the vocal tracks he made.Today, Sure Shot’s production & vocal skills can be heard via The Blak Prophetz, an incredible Hip Hop concoction fusion of raw talent and skill. His beats are hypnotic, his rhyme flows are tight and the overall production is the best and can only be compared to the that of DJ Premier or the great Paul C.

He’sdefinitely in the heavy weight league having worked with Africa Bambaataa, Ced Gee (Ultramagnetic Mc’s), Cold Crush Brothers and done production for the likes of Justin Timberlake, Urban Species, Gilly Jaxson (US3),
