Dubbledge is an English rapper based in Watford.[1]

He first gained interest with the track The Internet Song, which was distributed online.[2]

He has appeared on releases by fellow UK hip hop artists such as Micall Parknsun, Braintax, and Jehst, as well as performances at Glastonbury and launch parties for Foreign Beggars and Jehst, and an appearance on Rodney P & Skitz's show, Original Fever, on 1xtra.

Dubbledge was officially sponsored by Dilate clothing in 2007 (although not exclusively), when joined by their UK hip hop team. Since then he has collaborated with clothing labels on many occasions for cross promotions and product placement deals. Dubbledge can be seen to be wearing Dilate merchandise in the music video, Antigrey starring Dubbledge and Braintax.

Dubbledge released the mixtape The Fist of Jah in 2005. It featured the likes of Foreign Beggers and Genesis Elijah with production by Dag Nabit and beatboxing by Shlomo of the Foreign Beggers.

Dubbledge's debut album The Richest Man in Babylon was released on Low Life Records on October 1, 2007, had 3 song featured on ITV1's ‘Wish You Were Here‘ show and was chosen by Hip Hop Connection as "album of the month", describing it as an "enjoyable, entertaining, and rewarding listen", with HHC's Hugh Leask noting Dubbledge's "skill for setting the ordinary next to the extraordinary, blending the humdrum everyday minutia with the dramatic and explosive".[3] His song "Lips 2 da Floor" pokes fun at grime music with its cult classic video clipping youtubes best moments together creating a montage of hilarious accidents.

Dubbledge's One inch Punch Mixcd released late 2009 on his own Hidden Agenda label, used beats from 90s classics reworking hits by artists including Dr Dre and Snoop, Black Moon, Method Man, Raekwon, Souls of Mischief, Jeru Da Damaja and Group Home

On the subject of how he came up with his name, he once said in an interview "A Rasta man once told me that the tongue is a double-edged sword, even though it may be one of the smallest muscles in your body. It can do the most damage. It can start wars or bring peace."[4]
