JJC & THE 419 SQUAD
Born in Nigeria, Abdul Rasheed Bello Locko moved
to the UK when just 14. He very quickly got involved in the rap and
hip-hop scene, naturally switching between English and Yoruba. He
started working with a schoolmate on a project that eventually became
the
South London posse Big Brovaz that released their own material. They
went on to have a Top 3 hit with "Nu Flow".
JJC's solo album "Atide" is a cocktail of
Hip-Hop, Afro-Beat and Hi-Life.
JJC (from the derogatory term "Johnny Just
Come" for African newcomers) also runs an
African Hip-Hop column on BBC Radio 3's "African on Your Street".

Locko arrive au Royaume-Uni à l'age de 14 ans. Très

scene, mélangeant spontanément l'anglais avec son Yoruba
maternel. A l'école déjà, il travaille avec un
collègue dans une foramtion qui deviendra le posse Big Brovaz,
qui sort leur propre matériel. Plus tard, ils auront un
succès avec le titre "Nu Flow" (chez Next Music en France).
L'album solo de JJC "Atide" est un
mélage de Hip-Hop, Afro-Beat et Hi-Life.
JJC (de l'expression "Johnny Just
Come") contribue au site "African on Your
Street" de la BBC Radio 3.
