Biography

Lawless, the younger cousin to UK Grime artist Kano, is a 19 year old Grime MC located around the outskirts of East London. Although he has been involved underground for 4 years, he has decided to make a mark in the Grime scene by releasing mixtape "Law and Order" featuring Komenz Productions which has already been pre-ordered by hundreds. Known as a local hero in Chadwell Heath, he expanded his fan base by creating "East Man Mentality Vol.1" in 2006 and "East Man Mentality Vol.2" in 2007.

In between he has teamed up with Knockout Productions to produce popular single "No Means No" in the middle of 2007.

Late 2007, the talented 19 year old was also rumoured to be linked with Aftershock, but with a number of outstanding singles, it seems as though he is heading for a solo career. His music career has taken many turns as first he was a DJ and then began to produce, both around the age of 10, despite writing his first lyrics at age 7/8. He then featured with a musical sound called S.W.A.T Team, who at the time managed to get signed under Big Deal Records, located around the Outskirts of East London to try and portray music in a different way compared to everyone else in the scene but has now gone on to further his music as a solo artist and a co-owner of Unique Sounds Entertainment Records alongside Antoine Eloi Fontaine which has been put on hold. In 2008 he released a Mixtape for free named Law and Order what is avaliable from his myspace and Unique Sounds label. 2009 has seen him step up and become more noticed in the grime scene. Heir to The Throne was a promo released in available for free download which was advertised on the House of Grime Blog. Shortly after he showed his production skills by releasing instrumental Promo Yardie Beats Vol.1 He also attended dogzilla's birthday set alongside Dogzilla himself and Devlin on Rinse FM on the 20th August 2009.

Controversy

Although having several disagreements with grime artist, the two most notable were the Voltage Diss done back in 2007 and the Statement made about Shocka at the end of his GSi Television freestyle video in 2009. Lawless had a little to say on the subject when interviewed by House of Grime saying '"Basically I just got fed up really. Of all this unnecessary intervention. Shocka tried to play the bully, getting involved in something that had nothing to do with him. So I had to give him a taste of his own medicine. I've received mixed responses from my actions but that's what I expected. Most have been positive though".
