Riko Dan was known on the circuit for his venomous flow. He was a raw street MC and a real mic man. His dark lyrics influenced a lot artists that later came on to the scene. In 1996 Pressure FM would go off air and many of it's DJs and MCs either spilled over on to Rinse FM 91.8, or, Rude FM 104.3. Riko joined the likes of DJ Cutter featured on Rinse FM, linking up with MC Wiley, MC Trouble and DJ Trend (RIP). Riko worked with likes of DJ Magic featuring on a track entitled "The Flavour 98" - Volume 8 - Prisoners of Technology (Fresh Kutt Records, 1998). Around 1998 Riko was in trouble with the law and his absence from the Jungle/Drum & Bass scene was felt. In 1999/2000 on his return to he joined forces with DJ Geeneus on Rinse FM now transmitting on 100.3 dial. He began MCing to Drum & Bass.
