Lethal Bizzle

Lethal Bizzle (born Maxwell Ansah) (also known as Lethal B) is a rapper from East London, born to Ghanian parents. In December 2004 he released the single "Pow (Forward)", also known as "Forward Riddim", which was banned from airplay by some mainstream stations; it entered the UK Singles Chart at number 11 in the first chart of 2005 and number one on the UK Dance Chart.

His former group, More Fire Crew, released the album More Fire Crew CV, but were dropped from their record label when the album performed poorly. However, their track "Oi!" reached the top ten singles chart.

In early July 2005 Lethal Bizzle was one of the very few black British artists to appear on stage at the final Live 8 concert in Edinburgh.Live 8

Lethal Bizzle is signed to V2 Records, on which he released the album Against All Oddz in August 2005 which sold 35,000 plus. The first single from it "Uh Oh! (I'm Back)" was released in the same month and peaked at number 37 in the UK Singles Charts.

He is known for MCing in the so called "Grime" sound, and is also associated with the grindie scene.

He released a song with Twista, Gappy Ranks and the Kray Twinz called What We Do, which reached 23.

He is known for his rap rivalry with Roll Deep Crew member Wiley. However, in the final track, Til Next Time, on his latest album, Against All Oddz, Lethal Bizzle calls for an end to this rivalry. In Wiley's new album, Da 2nd Phaze, Wiley has added More Fire Crew's hit Oi! as a bonus track, as a sign showing that their feud is finished. However, in the song One Avalanche, Wiley says "One avalanche from me could wipe out the whole Fire Camp with ease".

Lethal Bizzles new crew Fire Camp are going to release their debut album sometime in the Summer. Also Lethal Bizzle has a forth coming second album due for release early 2007 on V2 Records

Fire Camp are documented on the television program, Lethal B TV on Channel U.

He has a wide ranging fanbase, partly due to his work with white indie bands such as the rakes. This puts his, along with Dizzee Rascal ahead of their London Garage stablemates.
