Squeeze Skrilla Kidz member versed in Hip Hop, Garage and Dancehall Skrilla One Newest member, discovered by Skrilla Kidz *Chad Williamson AKA Dolamite had shown strong musical tendencies from an early age. At eleven his youthful visions manifested in the formation of a sound system with his cousin Chukki Starr. The sound ‘Echo Tone’ laid the foundation stones for the group’s ambition, which was to have a future career in music. Although there was a brief period of disenchantment, in 1998 Dolamite pursued his very real childhood dream by enrolling at the Islington School of Music to study Music Technology and Sound Engineering. Carefully dividing his time the young pioneer immediately utilized his newfound knowledge to build and create his own studio; this was the birth of Suncycle. His mission was to provide much needed studio facilities for talented hopefuls in his area. . Starting off in his own backyard he looked closely at those around him, identifying the abundance of raw talent in his own large tight knit family. He encouraged his brother Naff Skrilla, sister Landa Boo, cousins W Squeeze and Serita and close friend Villain to form a group, which they called the Skrilla Kidz. The determined quintet began writing and performing to perfect their hip hop influenced sound in earnest, entering a number of London based talent showcases and competitions to resounding success; this did not go unnoticed. Original mentor Dolamite, now in a position to act upon his initial instincts, he signed them up as part of the Suncycle Crew. The Suncycle movement picked up momentum and various other local artists and celebrities soon caught wind of the enormous hype which quickly attracted attention from the wider dancehall/reggae community at large. One of the knock on effects saw Dolamite as producer for Suncycle Productions take on the mantle as producer, arranger and performer on several important collaborations. World renown artists like Capleton, Sizzla, Singing Melody, Goofy & Determine as well as the cream of British dancehall acts like Gappy Ranx, Redman UK, Vigilante and Shortie Blitz to name a few, recording blazin’ cuts for the Suncycle label. Many of London’s urban radio stations particularly in North West London supported heavily with airplay complemented perfectly with supercharged personal appearances and showcases from a Suncycle Crew, which was rapidly growing in number. By now fourteen strong to also include Armani, Booji, Bongo Kanni, and Skrilla One, The Suncycle Crew could do no wrong. É   *É In the past year they have dominated the UK dancehall scene with a compelling and irresistible dynamism and force. Supporting international mainstream names like Foxy Brown and Elephant Man gave Suncycle further valuable exposure, which led to the full Suncycle Crew being asked by BBC1 Xtra to perform at their recent launch party in Sheffield, where they performed to an extremely receptive crowd. A rapturous welcome also greeted them at the Southport Summerfest Weekender where they created a huge stir. BBC1, and BBC R1 have also featured them heavily, with dancehall and garage programmes on radio stations throughout the UK reporting incredible request levels for Suncycle material. In a meeting of the two great ‘Suns’ Suncycle are recording a series of explosive tracks with international producer Sunship, in addition to preparing for the release of their third album to an eagerly awaiting audience. The Suncycle concept from which this supergroup draws it’s moniker is a real phenomenon reflecting our current era referring to an age that takes place every twenty four thousand years. Dolamite modestly puts his current success down to destiny, though in reality his perseverance, talent and ability to ensure his success through his actions also play a part in this incredible scenario. Dolomite’s ultimate goals are “to build a foundation for future generations of talent; to create opportunities for youth in his community and to demonstrate that music can be used positively as a means of opening doors and escaping the negativity of the streets”.
