Check out Lethal Bizzle alongside Sinead Harnett and David Arnold creating their unique collaboration and follow the #LiveColourful.LIVE journey on www.bulmers.co.uk/livecolourfullive/ and on YouTube here.

After giving you our top 10 reasons why Lethal B is a grime legend, we thought we would go one step further and compile a playlist of the best of Bizzle. From his Fire Camp days right up to Fester Skank, we’ve put together 14 of his biggest and best tracks for you to enjoy!

 

Top 5

1. “Oi!” – More Fire Crew

Taking it all the way back to the first time most of the UK heard Bizzle, “Oi!” was an obvious pick for our Best of Lethal Bizzle playlist. Joined by More Fire Crew, this was the first (but obviously not last) time Bizzle saw a top 10 hit. “Oi!” reached heights never before seen by grime artists, charting #7 in the UK in 2002.

2. “Pow (Forward Riddim)” – Lethal B feat. Fumin, D Double E, Nappa, Jamakabi, Neeko, Flowdan, Ozzie B, Forcer & Demon

Fast forward to 2004, Lethal came back with a “Pow” in the form of “Forward Riddim”. Alongside a host of some of the coldest grime MC’s of the time, he hit the charts again with the track coming in at #11 but also creating a force that would go down in history and return even BIGGER in the form of…

3. “Pow 2011” – Lethal Bizzle feat. Kano, Ghetts, Chip, Wiley, Face, P Money, JME

Although it never charted top 10 like its’ predecessor (it still made #33), the 2011 remix of “Pow” was HUGE. Joining forces with a few of the other grime forefathers we still know and love, how could it not be?

4. “Leave It Yeah” (Remix) – Lethal B feat. JME, Frimpong, Scrufizzer, 2Face, Frisco, Flowdan

Probably one of the most used sayings of 2011 (the year of release) thanks to Bizzle, “Leave It Yeah” (Remix) is a pure grime banger. As if the original wasn’t crazy enough, Lethal was joined on the Remix by JME, Frimpong, Scrufizzer, 2Face, Frisco and Flowdan. If you don’t know about this tune… just leave it, yeah. Two twos nah.

5. “Fester Skank” – Lethal Bizzle, Diztortion

Undoubtedly one of the biggest tracks of 2015, “Fester Skank” has taken over radio, TV, clubs and festivals all year. With it’s infectious Diztortion-produced bassline, catchy punchlines and hooks, wild dance moves, numerous entertaining video cameos, another HUGE remix (Bizzle should be crowned King of remixes) and of course coming straight in at #11 in the UK charts, what better way to round up our Best of Lethal Bizzle playlist.

Thank you for your services to grime Lethal Bizzle- we salute you.
