Tyronne Buddy-Lee Ike Hill aka Kid Bookie is a 27-year-old rapper from South East London. He started his musical journey as a youngster playing his guitar in a local band until years later when he heard loud angry noises coming from outside his window, which was actually the sound of local MC’s cyphering with lyrics.
He started creating music locally until he branched out and met fellow musician Dot Rotten where he introduced him to the nation by taking him on Tim Westwood’s BBC 1 Xtra show when he was 16 years old. He received mixed reactions from his performance thus harboring a drive to do better in the future.
In 2009, he brought out his first mixtape entitled In The Making which gained a lot of attention within the radio circuit allowing him to work with the more higher tier of MC’s within the underground circuit.
Currently, in 2014 he is apart of DJ Cameo’s FGM group along with fellow MC’s Scrufizzer, Kozzie, Maxsta, etc and Dot Rotten’s minarmy camp. His sound has become heavily influenced by indie type chords and electric guitar power strums mixed with multi-syllabic rhyming patterns and melodic choruses citing it as his formula to create music.
As well as holding a certain precedent in UK music scene, he has branched over sea’s forming collaborations with Eminem’s D12 member Kuniva and Slaughterhouse (Group)’s Crooked I as well as pop songstress Samantha Mumba bringing forward Scrufizzer, Lady Leshurr & Dot Rotten to feature on the record with them too.
