Teddy Bruckshot (15 February 1984—19 February 2018) was the alter ego used anonymously by East London MC Stormin for many of his dancehall-tinged songs; essentially as an outlet through which he could express his Jamaican heritage. He took his name from Louie Rankin’s drug kingpin in the 2002 crime film Shottas; the two characters met one another in January 2018.

He wore a mask during live appearances to conceal his identity, spat gruff Jamaican patois, and was first active around 2005 as a member of N.A.S.T.Y. Crew, appearing on tracks alongside the likes of Nasty Jack, Sir Spyro, Capo Lee and Gorillaz. He was essentially nonexistent on social media, with no official accounts.

While many clues had already revealed that Stormin was behind the alias—including a writing credit on the “Mud” remix, and Killa P accidentally referring to him as Stormin on their Boiler Room set—it was never formally confirmed by the man himself. Following Stormin’s untimely death to skin cancer in February 2018, however, countless grime scene greats paid homage to him, crediting the alias to him.

In a May 2019 interview with Logan Sama, close collaborator Sharky Major confirmed that his label, Major Muzik Entertainment, would be posthumously releasing some unheard Teddy Bruckshot music. Sure enough, the singles “Real Badman” and “Gold Teeth”, produced by The HeavyTrackerz and Biggaman respectively, arrived in 2020.
