is all about for him. Rather than go on here you can read for yourselves what he
had to say....

 It is a cold evening in late June and The
Cartoon Club in West Croydon, South London, is hosting Deemore’s Black
and White Exposure: a talent
showcase for local up-and-coming singers, rappers and dancers. The
venue is reasonably full, but the crowd seems extremely sedated as Da
Essence, from
the Social Misfits rap collective, take to the stage. Without receiving
much encouragement from the audience, Mr Roach, Ace and Flamer still
manages
to deliver a lively set that includes a ‘Verbal Workout’ over the
instrumental to M.O.P.’s ‘Ante Up’ and ‘Girl from the Manor’, a cheeky
tune
about chatting up women. After their performance, I manage to grab the
trio and their producer Sir Prestige for a chat.

I read somewhere that ‘malarchi’ means ‘blossoming’ in Tamil; and it’s
fair
to say that the East London emcee who uses the word as his moniker is
also one of UK hip hop’s burgeoning talents. His debut album ‘Forgotten
World’
was released with considerable fanfare back in May, so I recently
caught up with him at the Darkjoint recording studio in Canning Town
(where most of
the album’s tracks were conceived) to find out what he is trying to
achieve with his LP.

In an age when hip hop producers can gain as much of a celebrity status
as the top emcees in the scene, Roy 'The Dark Disciple' is determined
to establish himself as one of the UK's finest beat makers. Born
and
raised in South London, but now residing in Canning Town, East London,
Roy is the lead member of the Darkjoint production team and is
responsible for crafting
all of the beats on Malarchi's thunderous 'Forgotten World' LP.

 Fans of hip hop often find themselves having to decipher the Ebonics,
ghetto grammar and street slang that’s contained in rappers’ lyrics.
However, it’s more
unusual to have to reach for a dictionary in order to understand the
meaning behind an
emcee’s moniker... |
