Background

Rizzle Kicks were founded in about 1996, when both members used to play together round Rizzle's auntie's house. It was about eight years later when the pair reunited after they both moved to Brighton and facing each other head-on in a Sunday league football match. Four years later, they ended up going to the same college and one day Rizzle got Sylvester to 'Lalala' all over a track. They soon realised how nicely their styles fitted together. Rizzle at the time he was just finishing off his own mixtape, rapping over samples of some of their favourite artists when they officially became Rizzle Kicks.

As a newly formed duo, they started to hustle for beats from local producers and started making their own music videos with a friend of theirs. The duo are working on their debut album which will include a mixture of pop and hip-hop incorporating the fun elements of the old school hip-hop era circa 1988-92.[1]
