After the early 2000s, the mid section of that decade also gave us a whole cast of characters who have since gone on to achieve legendary status in the grime scene. One such name was Tempa T, who at the time was a central member of Slew Dem.

Here he is, years before "Next Hype", stepping up for a hype session with Risky Roadz. This was the first visual hint at the kind of unparalleled, manic energy bubbling away inside Tempz. With the Slew Dem crew by his side, the Newham MC sets the stage for a career full to bursting with hype.
