President T

Biography President T started his music career as a drum and bass and jungle MC, later moving into UK garage when that began to emerge, and then grime. President T has credited pirate radio for allowing him to perfect his craft.

President T had a lull of activity until a return in 2015, when he dropped a 13-track mixtape titled Greatest To Ever Touch Down. In 2018, President T dropped two projects, Stranger Returns and There's Only One.

In November 2016 he appeared in A. Dot's Story of Grime, a documentary for BBC Three. A.Dot wanted President T to be one of the veteran rappers in the grime clash cypher she was trying to set up, and Sir Spyro who was also in the same studio agreed he should accept the challenge. However he declined the offer, just like all the other grime music legends, as they didn't want to risk being the only veterans there.

In December 2016 he appeared in the two-part Channel 4 documentary Pirate Mentality, which was co-produced by Two Yanks and a Brit UK, Risky Roadz and SBTV. He was interviewed briefly in episode 1, along with a short clip of him performing in an old school pirate radio session, which was set up by Frisco and Risky Roadz. His full unedited performance was shown in episode 2.
