He lives in Stockport, Greater Manchester, and studied fine art at the Psalter Lane campus of Sheffield Hallam University. Before he could make a living from his music alone, he worked as a shelf-stacker in the Burton Road branch of Kwik Save.

His DJ name was inspired by his scruffy facial hair, as well as his trademark loose-lined drawing style. He has been DJing since 1994, at first in and around Manchester then nationwide. He is known for DJing in marathon sets (often exceeding six hours), his eclectic musical taste, his love of a "nice cup of tea" and the quirky home-produced visuals and animations associated with his music. In an interview he said: "It’s about putting a lot of effort in and paying attention to detail. I get annoyed if I don’t take risks. I’m very hard on myself."

Mr. Scruff Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Dangerous Drug , Dangerous Drug
Shit just keep callin me man, shit

Uh, feel like I'm turning to a dope fiend
Its like Im trapped between these apps, ain't no hope for me
Just need a hit of that dopamine
Admission is the first step of Rehabbing
But I don't see that happening

Cus the shit I do don't feel like its a habit
This everyday life, we wake up and do the most
Trying to reach that viral post and get paid off these likes
My family time and mental health I'm down to sacrifice
A victim of the algorithm this shit just got a hold on my life
Gasp
The truth is stranger than fiction
Every job when i wake up is the need to feed my addiction
A Social media fiend i get to swiping
I'm trying to see what they liking
Every other pic is another chic showing ass and tits
Now temptation i'm fighting
Yeah she might have flaws, but she never shows em
Every snap is from the perfect angle , she trying to get chosen
She'll compromise her self-respect for that blue check
Ass up in suspension keeps celebrities in her mentions and that's Dangerous
Letting numbers dictate your value is unbelievable
In pursuit of a Million followers , where you leading tho
Twerking for donations , for that next flight to Columbia
Letting em alter God's creation , you was born perfect
It's a never ending road to perfection don't let em trick you
The real beauty is in your actions, not just yo pictures
Can't let my habits lead me to destruction
Gotta use my bigger head and don't fall victim to seduction
I'm tellin you attention is a

Dangerous Drug, Dangerous Drug
Damn
I'm trying to tell ya clout is a
Dangerous Drug , Dangerous Drug
That's why they say attention is a
Dangerous Drug, Dangerous Drug
Careful bro

Dangerous Drug, Dangerous Drug
Its pleasure when you use it but danger when you abuse it

Who da fuck you talkin to , I ain't addicted to shit
I aint OD OG , why you all on my dick
So what i spend a couple hours swiping
I spent three hundred in two weeks on this content
And nobody gon like it
I ain't trippin off no post , this is entertainment
But you ain't my family or my fucking friend
If you don't trigger my engagements
Never in yo mentions so i get my attention from strangers
Dissin niggas i ain't scared
Its an app it ain't dangerous
Just got a DM from a New Body Bitch
She say she lovin me
And linked up with some niggas from her city
Say they fuck with me
And when i blow up Im telling everybody you ain't fuck with me
Said i'm the best in the Yo , Say that on my post in Public
But Fuck it Im going live with my New Body Bitch
And get the fuck out the city You niggas make me sick
Suck my dick , My new boo got a condo and a couple cars
And my new brothers say they got a Bag they gone make me a star
Jump on I-10 step on the gas on the way to the addy
Pull up and text, Baby I'm Here
She Said, Its Open Daddy
Grab all my shit ran in the house
Something knocked me out
When I woke up I was tied up , surrounded by my opps
The bitch was laughing said, I got you nigga
Talking all that shit on IG like who gon pop you nigga
Us , You disrespect my peeps , now you gon rest in peace
Thinking shit was sweet , i shoulda listened to OG
He said attention was a

Dangerous Drug, Dangerous Drug
Damn you aint gotta do this man i was just playin man

Dangerous Drug, Dangerous Drug
Its pleasure when you use it but Danger when you abuse it

Wherever you go , I'll Follow
I'll Follow
