I don't know why this article keeps getting deleted, as he's been around for over 20 years, is one of the biggest names in Grime music, and as you can see from some of his BBC radio appearances alone, never mind his tracks being played, he's on the radio all the time. That point alone covers "Point 11" of the music notability guidelines. Plus there were already loads of articles written specifically about him here already.

Anthony George Harris, better known by his stage name President T, is a British grime artist from North London.[3][4] President T was born in Birmingham, but moved to Tottenham, North London when he was 3 years old.[5] He is known for his distinct style of delivery, offbeat rhyming patterns, and flow.[6][7][8]

Biography

[edit]

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.[4][9][7] President T has family in Manchester and spent some time there for three years in his teens.[5] In the late 90s, he joined Manchester-based group Darkside Crew alongside Black Tiga, Ms. Shotta, Vane, DJPH1, and Nova & Cautious.[9]

In 2003,[8] he joined younger brother Big H, cousin Bossman Birdie, as well as Skepta, Jme, Pablo, Meridian Dan, and Lieutenant to form Meridian Crew, all of whom were based around the same area in North London.[4][9][6]

President T released his debut mixtape, Back Inna My Face Volume 1, in late 2007 for free download.[6][8]

Meridian Crew would end up splitting up. Skepta and Jme went on to form Boy Better Know, while President T joined Bloodline Music alongside former Meridian Crew members; Big H, Pablo, Bossman Birdie and fellow North London MC 9 Milli Major.[9][7][10]

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.[2][9] This was followed by T on The Wing in 2016, followed in 2017 by a re-master and re-release of his 2007 mixtape, Back Inna My Face.[11] In 2018, President T dropped two projects, Stranger Returns and There's Only One.[9][4][12]

In November 2016 he appeared in A. Dot's Story of Grime, a documentary for BBC Three.[13] 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.[14] 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 2 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.[15][16][17]
