THE UK VIDEO THAT HELP START IT ALL!
'Love of Hiphop' is the 1st ever independent urban UK music video to break mainstream. This video inspired not just a nation, but an entire generation! LoHH's release catapulted the 57th Dynasty to the forefront of the UK music scene and made them the premier British Rap Group. Watch 'Break Free' by 57th Dynasty: • 57th Dynasty - Break F...
**FAKE AMERICAN ACCENTS**
WhoIsParadise is British born, but 18 years raised in NYC, returned to the UK in 96, met producer Charlie Parker and the rest is history. SORRY, BUT NO FAKENESS OVER HERE! tinyurl.com/33x...
The name 57th Dynasty would become synonymous with UK Hiphop and eventually crowned Best Hiphop Act and Best UK Act MOBO Nominees up against Jay-Z.
Shot on location in the heart of Brixton [Myattsfield and Cowley Estates] and Shoreditch. This video became an MTV Yo! Raps favorite and played across Europe for over a solid year [before there was even an MTV Base or Channel U]. To their credit... there was no need prior to, but now the spark was lit...
NB: Sorry for keeping low for so long. A lot of legal issues, youtube rights, etc, but court's out, so here we are, to rewrite the history they tried to write us out of. And please dont ask about my American accent... 18years in NYC is self explanatory. LOL. +++INVESTIGATE+++

@Mbproject21 There's only one place my then aged 11 - 13 year old Young spitters caught a wee-bit of American twang from, and that's from ME... Lead MC - read the notes, then you'll know. #knowledgeispower #bless

[@MrJesaispaquoimettre]

Good hip hop ;)

[@RJDamage]

Phat fucking beat...

[@whoisparadise]

@queenmagic1982 We spent years fighting youtube against uploads and plays of our material until they sorted out ROYALTIES! It's all good now though. #ownership

[@sophiesilvera9356]

along time later lil shan shan was born

[@G-Man78]

Obviously the American accents were influenced by Paradise.... we didn't know better back then lol

[@randsg9372]

Looks like Cowley estate

[@paradisetheprolific]

📍

[@soloist9495]

why are they using American accents

[@PC-hp6gz]

I could be wrong but I think a couple of them were American. EDIT: " At the height of their popularity, the group faced a wave of backlash from Anglo-centric blogs and forums, which sought to discredit the group as sounding too American as a result of lead vocalist Paradise having spent 18 years living in the United States".

[@ludaheracles7201]

Paradise he grew up in NYC man
