Ditto. I was fortunate enough to see Buken and Conrad at one of Universe's Voyager parties in London about a month ago and it was brilliant. I'd never seen an MC before who was totally annoying or just plain shit, but Conrad is in a class way above the rest. The only other MC who comes close is Calvin Watkiss who MC's at the Metalheadz night at the Bluenote. Bukem, of course, was flawless (which is more than I can say for Goldie... ouch) :: Alan M.
