Ben Pedroche has been addicted to rap music since first hearing the illicit rhymes of Snoop Doggy Dogg at the tender age of 11, and has written about the genre for magazines around the world. He founded and ran an independent record label for a short time from 2003-05, albeit unsuccessfully, and has also published three books about his other passion, London history. He edits the rap blog Grown Up Rap, and lives in London with his wife and daughter.
