The Badman Riddim (Jump) Songfacts reports that Orifice Vulgatron and Dag Nabbit met in Dubai and after making drum and bass for a time they switched to hip hop. DJ Nonames met Metropolis at university in 2000 and the duo joined hip hop and funk band Focused Few and began throwing warehouse parties and touring. Vulgatron was introduced to Nonames through Dj Gizroc, then part of the Mixologists Crew, and by late 2002 the quartet had started performing and recording alongside beatboxer Shlomo. The band released their first album, Asylum Speakers on November 27, 2003. Shlomo subsequently moved on and started doing his own thing with the Beatbox Orchestra and by 2011 Dagnabbit had taken a backseat and was concentrating on the crew's business side.
The crew have released a slew of 12"s and Ep's and really made their mark after independently releasing their critically acclaimed, debut LP 'Asylum Speakers'. Foreign Beggars have collaborated and toured with the cream of UK's Hip Hop movement, with Shlomo appearing on Björk's album Medulla and NoNames having done cuts for Damon Albarn's Gorillaz project. With forthcoming projects with Dj Sparo, Dj Vadim, Dudley Perkins, WildChild (Lootpack), OH NO, Dj IQ, Dj Mentat, Scratch Perverts, and Euphrates, the crew see no boundaries with diversifying their sound.
Foreign Beggars are also renowned for their explosive live performances, which recently saw them tear down Glastonbury, Fabric and Hip Hop Kemp in Hradec Kralove. They have supported Public Enemy, Roots Manuva, Beatnuts, Masta Ace, Grand Master Flash, Talib Kweli, Wu-Tang Clan, Asian Dub Foundation, Last Emperor, Mark Ronson, Ja Rule, Blak Twang, and many more.

you can never stop my steps in the world that i'm living in

I feel it in the air,
you can never stop my swing, cause I'm anywhere and everywhere

Came here after the sad passing of Metropolis, revisiting some of my favourite songs from Foreign Beggars and remembering what was one of their best hits 🙏🏽 RIP Ebow
Curtis Styles
Been doing the same mate!! Taking me back ten years to old times banging out these tunes again.. Not that I ever really stopped playing them! 🤜🤛
IAmMysterium
@Curtis Styles agree man, I've been replaying ' See The Light ' gives a whole different meaning how he's gone, but many many great memories for sure
Curtis Styles
I feel you lad!! I love there album asylum speakers and all the old hip hop tracks! Also had the privilege of seeing them live at 2 DNB nights where they dropped Contact and shellshock! They split the crowd down the middle ( the wall off death they called it ) let's just say it was insane!! One of the best groups to come out of the uk 👍
IAmMysterium
@Curtis Styles Oh shit man that is sick! Sounds amazing thanks for sharing! Was that both of them? That moshpit sounds crazy! I saw FB just this November in Sheffield on their last tour, the guys were insane, they even got a guy up from the crowd to rap Frosted Perspeks. Also saw OV host Flux Pavilion B2B Snails at SW4. Was a mad concert and they put on a show and a half! I agree one of the best to ever do it from the UK. Stuck to their morals and what was true to them even when they started to blow up with the dubstep stuff early 2010.
Also just found your Techincal DnB playlist man, just at the beginning but what a playlist!
Curtis Styles
@IAmMysterium yeah they never went fully mainstream and did stick to mostly underground stuff! magic mate!! Bet your well made up you got to see them in the past year! Frosted perspex is a banger!! I've seen them at The Coronet in london ( elephant & castle ) that was a long time ago.. last time I sore them was may 2016 in my hometown in a small and personal venue that holds around 200 ppl. Was madness! And yeah both were there! i Used to go dubstep nights.. to see datsik, skism, trolley snatcha, doctor p and all that good stuff! Didn't realise you can see my playlists! There a bit mixed up haha but have a butchers! 👍
