Podgy Figures
"Creeping up the Channel U chart, Podgy is going to have the authorities and the streets watching his rise." (Touch Magazine)
Not one to wait around for the cutthroat music industry to give him a break Podgy Figures made his own opportunities and forged his way into the scene. In a recent interview with Write On Point Magazine Podgy explained his Do It Yourself ethos; "I gave my big break to myself, I set up a radio station (91.5 - Podgy FM) I put out my own mix tapes, spent time in the studio."
First You MC (Now You Rappin) is the new single from the Podgy Figures set for release in late March 2006 on Most Valuable Productions. The single, taken from Podgys album Hood Gazette, shares Podgys contentions with the hip hop game. He questions why so many British rappers feel the need to change what they do to please other people or because their sound isnt popular, a view that many artists and fans echo but few express in public. "If youre a rapper stay rappin," explains Podgy. "If youre a garage mc stay MC'in! You can't do it right anyway!! Its like P. Diddy doing opera. Im doin hip hop straight."
2006 looks set to be another hectic year for the west London based MC. Podgy FM is going from strength to strength as is Podgys music. Fans can expect more singles, new videos, exclusive live sets and the mixtape Love is Love in coming months.
