Adrian Harris,[1] better known by his stage name Big H, is an English grime artist and rapper from Tottenham, London, United Kingdom.

Biography[edit]

Known for his distinctive style, H spent much of his life creating new music and "perfecting the flow".[2] In 2009, H released his debut mixtape Street Crime UK.[3]

He was originally a member of Meridian Crew before it split. Following a hiatus, Big H returned in 2012 to release "Mark of the Beast"[4] and begin to ease himself back on to underground radio stations.

In mid-2013, Big H teamed up with the recently formed Inside Music, signing an album and management deal that would see the highly anticipated album finally released.[5] Since then, Big H has found himself on a higher platform, appearing on Charlie Sloth's 1Xtra show,[6] releasing another album Fire And Smoke[7] and achieving commercial success on Meridian Dan's German Whip.[8]

Feuds[edit]

Big H has clashed with many other grime MCs and crews, notably Trim, Roll Deep, Manga, P Money, Wiley and Scratchy. [9] In 2014, Big H participated in a controversial clash with P Money[10] on Lord of the Mics 6, that ended abruptly after H pulled out of the clash.[11][12]
