In his own words Solomon says “I even remember when Selector firelinks came to Chimes in 2000 to shatter the dance. In the late 90’s I started buying vinyl from Blacker Dread store and the Alton-Ellis shop in Brixton village, to practice toasting on the riddims”.King Solz blaxx then hooked up with Portuguese producer ‘Dj Redirob’ and they began work at his Lab and produced No Gangwar, a Hip pop fusion with Roots Rockers Production.‘Buzwaak Studio’ in Brixton and perfected his vocals blending old skool Hip Pop with Roots rockers. kingSolzBlaxx says “I loved his sound and he produced a tune called ‘No Gangwar’ that reached no 6 on the Dutch Online Reggae charts with Sizzla and Gregory Issacs in the top 5”.
