While recent UK imports like Dizzee Rascal and The Streets
may have critics swooning and an army of young hipsters
brushing up on their cockney, dont talk any of that around
Mega and his older brother Mayhem, the North London duo
known as S.A.S. Theyve been lying to you, says a defiant
Mayhem. People have been calling that garage stuff UK Rap
over here in the States, but they cant carry our weight on
their shoulders because we have our own rappers, our own
battles, our own scene. That other stuff is not UK hip-hop.
S.A.S., the most recent addition to the
Diplomat/Roc-A-Fella family, is most definitely U.K.
hip-hop.
Brothers Sean Mega Williams and Melvin Mayhem Williams grew
up in the north London neighborhood of East Finchley on a
steady diet of early American rap. We always loved the
music, says Mega. Since the ages of 4 and 5, we came up
watching films like Beat Street and Breakin. We came up
with Krush Groove, all the early Def Jam stuff Run DMC,
Slick Rick, LL Cool J. At around the age of 16, both had
picked up the mic and discovered a mutual, natural gift.
But it wasnt until a basketball scholarship for Mayhem he
and is brother both tower at around 6"5" brought the pair
to New York that things began to heat up for SAS.
Based out of Staten Island, Mega and Mayhem took to
Shaolins mean streets in search of battles and ciphers
wherever they could be found. Their burgeoning reputations
as vicious battle rappers soon found them throwing down
with some of the citys finest, from Sugar Hill in Harlem,
to Times Square to Brooklyns infamous Marcy Projects and
the ears of some of its most infamous denizens. ôMega and
Mayhem were the only unsigned artists to ever come into
Marcy projects and completely shut it down,praises Memphis
Bleek.They just nice like that.
Bleek wasnt the only one listening. Back in the UK,
tastemakers like Radio Ones Tim Westwood had started
showing them love, and freestyles began popping up on New
York stations like Hot 97. And connections at The Roc were
running deep by late 2002 / early 2003 Kanye West was
interested in a production deal and the duo were recording
tracks with Diplomats Camron, Jim Jones and Juelz Santana.
Later that summer, things came full circle a ten-minute
trans-Atlantic conference call with Jim Jones and
Roc-A-Fella CEO Damon Dash made it official: SAS were now
DipSet/Roc-A-Fella.
Dash has since launched an aggressive campaign to break
into the U.K. market, and has made SAS a huge priority on
both sides of the pond. Last December he brought SAS back
to New York to participate in the 2004 Rocawear ad
campaign. Capitalizing on the momentum, the duo recorded 14
tracks in just 4 days, many of them featuring Roc-A-Fella
artists like, Camron, Juelz Santana, Jim Jones, Rell, Denim
and more.
With one eye on completing and releasing an album here in
the States, SAS hearts remain very much at home, and they
take their role as the flag-bearers for UK hip-hop very
seriously. People in England are proud, yknow explains
Mayem. Of course they got a liking for their own, so theyre
lovin UK hip-hop right now. You also have those that look
at American hip-hop as the real thing. We fit right in the
middle of all that. We speak in the same slang and
terminology as the UK garage artists, but our flow is
definitely New York. Were excited,Mega continues. Weve
always known we were this nice, its just that now we have
team behind us with Roc-A-Fella that people respect.
