Artwork by Take Me Back Pirate Radio Archives. Channel exclusive! Big up Sexy J for this rare epic piece of history. Featuring the Godfather MC Kie, DJ Booma and DJ Jimmy Jam who are joined by special guests DJ Noise and formidable female vocalist, MC Sexy J. By 1998 Risk FM had got hit by the DTI and so they were unfortunately taken off air which meant that a lot of the London UK Garage pirate radio stations took on their ranks a lot of former Risk FM DJs and MCs.
MC Sexy J was one of the first female UK Garage MC on London the pirate radio scene from 1995. She also featured on Deja Vu FM and Magic FM. Sexy J worked with the likes of Two As One & MJ Cole, recording tracks: "Too Blind" and "Bodyheat" (Rhythm Division label, 1997). Sexy J was also known on the rave circuit as a dancer for the "TNT Dancers" and with the "Infinity Dancers".
