‘How Many Times’ sees Dizzle Kid make his debut 1Forty release with a 16 bar feature from close friend Killa P. There is also new blood on the buttons in Bristol’s NothingNice who comes forward with a Boylan and Trends inspired instrumental offering up a flat out cut throat bass, classic grime orchestral strings whilst also referencing the eskimo sound. Very few voices can cut through such a tune, one that comes straight to mind is none other than Dizzle Kid.

Originally from Birmingham, Dizzle Kid has seen his local city go from strength to strength as Grime fever took over from right back when Sidewinder took off in the early 2000s, often featuring himself alongside DJ Big Mikee and Vader. Whilst Birmingham has had its time in the limelight, it also has had times it got forgotten about in Grimes quieter years. Often been between London and Birmingham Dizzle Kid had the best of both worlds at times however he would always be flying the flag of his roots further north.

Fast forward a few years Dizzle gained quite a significant reputation as being one of the leading names in the Sika Records camp which brought together a lot of Birmingham's best MC’s and crews such as Dizzle Kid, Devilman, Trilla and Stayfresh tearing up raves and stage takeovers around the Midlands and beyond. Around this time he stayed in London for a stint and ended up going to a show with Marcus Nasty. An opportunity arose to host a show and the two have been tearing down raves around the country and Marcus’s Rinse FM show ever since and have recently started the new Nasty Bro’s collective consisting of Mic Man Front, Shantie alongside Marcus and Mak10. The last couple of years has seen him drop a lot of self released material seeing support from Sir Spyro, Logan Sama and Spooky amongst others paving the way for his debut 1Forty Release.

On production duties for the first time in the 1Forty camp is NothingNice. Taking huge influence from all realms of 140 past and present such as Deep Medi and Bandulu dubstep artists Egoless, Commodo, Kahn and Boofy, to the artist from the very 140 origins themselves - Wiley, and especially the more modern take on gritty underground grime from royalty Slimzee as well as Slimzos and Meanstreets key contributor Boylan. Spending the best part of four years honing his craft soaking in the hub of the UK underground scene in Bristol, the turn of the year saw the 24 year old get his first bout of material sent out which saw plays across Rinse and NTS and even at the holy grail of Bristol - Motion. A debut three track EP followed which was well received and supported by Spooky amongst others. This instrumental was the following project which landed in the 1Forty submissions and on receipt was taken without hesitation, yet still crying out for a dominant vocal Dizzle Kid was on the other end of the phone ready to snap it up with a helping hand from Killa P dropping in a feature to pair up with his lead vocal.
